How To Instal Themes On S2?

Best pay-as-you-go cell phone plan for a few days in the USA w. a Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2

• Is there a prepaid phone plan in the US that will let me use my Samsung Galaxy S2 at full speeds, for short visits (ie: without having to pay for a full month of use)? I live in Canada, and have a carrier-unlocked Samsung Galaxy S2. I periodically go to the US, typically for a couple of days, sometimes longer. I'd like to find a cell phone plan that can serve my needs for these visits. I'm hoping I can find a plan that meets these criteria: 1) Gives me access to decent data speeds on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). 2) Does not require me to pay for a full month, if I plan to be in the US for just a few days. In the past, I've used T-mobile's prepaid pay-by-the-day plans. Those plans let me pay for just the days I use. Great for short visits- For 5 days, I pay $10 or $15, for unlimited talk/text and data. The one problem, though, is that with my phone, I am limited to edge speeds. (T-mobile sells a Samsung Galaxy S2 which gets 4g speeds on their network, but that's apparently a different phone from my regular Samsung Galaxy S2, which I believe is only compatible w. Edge speeds on the T-mobile network). I've also seen plans, like the one at Straight Talk, that, if I understand right, would allow me to get faster speeds, but where I'd have to pay for a full month. That's great for longer visits, but $45 seems expensive for a couple of days coverage. Is there any plan that offers the best of these worlds? (Or some other solution I may be overlooking?)

• Answer:

  T-Mobile's 3G is on a nonstandard frequency, which is why your non-T-Mobile-specific phone only get edge on T-Mobile. If you want a pay-as-you go GSM plan in the US with 3G, and your phone doesn't support T-mobile's 3G network, you're pretty much stuck with http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/pyg-cell-phone-plans.jsp. AT&T GoPhone uses AT&T's GSM network, which will get you 3G. You could use their $2 Daily Unlimited Plan, which gives you unlimited talk/text (but not unlimited data). Because you have a smartphone, they'll insist you get one of their data packages (which are a fixed $5 for 50 MB, $15 for 150 MB, or $25 for 1 GB). For 5 days that would cost you $15, $25, or $35, depending on how much data you expect to consume.
