</div>I'm sort-of offline till sunday, dealing with electrical power and safety<br>
at <a href="http://rodeo.scouting.nl" target="_blank">http://rodeo.scouting.nl</a> (Dutch only, sorry, but you'll<br>
get the gist)<br>
<br>
What you want is "prepay" (this is easy), with "data" (which is<br>
what I need to research). The telco's use data to guide people<br>
to a subscription rather than a prepay card, so this isn't easy.<br>
<br>
In general, there are 3 mobile telco's:<br>
- KPN mobile: incumbent telco, good coverage.<br>
Other brand names: Telfort, Hi<br>
- Vodaphone: KPN's big competitor, good coverage<br>
- T-mobile: 3rd operator. They have coverage issues, and more important,<br>
severe 3G capacity problems, up to the point where they re-imburse<br>
UMTS customers at this time. I'm a T-mobile customer and unfortunately<br>
can confirm these problems.<br>
<br>
What's the data volume (roughly) you're planning to burn?<br>
<br>
Let me get back to you on this next week, OK?<br>
