Answer
No one in the US will be able to provide you with a prepaid SIM card that will allow you to use your BlackBerry for anything other than a phone (voice calls only). The data plan will not work with any prepaid GSM plan in the US. No carriers in the US offer this, I'm sorry to say. If you want to get a prepaid SIM card, you can get one from any GSM carrier or reseller, but know that only voice and text will work, not maps, not internet, not MMS messaging. No way around this, I'm sorry to say. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
