We recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, purchasing our own pre-owned phones that were TMO branded (two S4's, a Note2, and an iPhone5). Since we own the phones outright, we asked T-Mobile to unlock them in preparation for a trip overseas. We have received notice and instructions that the phones are unlocked.
I know we can use our T-Mobile phones and current SIM cards in the countries we will be visiting - yay TMO! - but that won't get us the fast data we want, only 2G. So the plan is to purchase SIM cards after we arrive.
I'd like to test the phones with a non-T-Mobile SIM card to verify that they are unlocked before we leave, in case there are complications.
T-Mobile sells "by the day" plans - I know this because we tested T-Mobile coverage all over town before we switched - but I can't seem to find another carrier that does. Any suggestions? I went looking all over the AT&T site and didn't find anything close to a daily plan.
