Travelling with Nokia N900 – data transfer around the world

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 11:57 AM PST

Nokia N900 has good support for wireless internet connections, WiFi when available and GPRS almost everywhere, but Christmas time makes us travel around the world to visit family and spend time together. So how to use mobile data connection without paying much more for data roaming?

The best solution is to replace your regular SIM card with local for country you’re in and use local data connection with much lower wages. Nevertheless this solution is reasonable if you have possibility to have pre-paid solution with data transfer included, signing aggreement for a year is a bit too much if you’re abroad for few weeks only.

So now for everyone travelling not only for Christmas there is way to find out what do you need to find good offer with data transfer included. There is a wiki page (thanks to Dawid for link) Pay as You Go Sim With Data Wiki where you can find information on which mobile operator you can choose and what exactly is needed and where to get such SIM.

This page is great source of information for everyone, frequent travellers wanting to stay in touch with e-mail and communicators and tourists on vacations for using on-line maps and finding entertainment in place you’re staying.
