Question about prepaid SIM card

Aug 25, 2010, 11:05 AM

Does anyone know why T-Mobile will not sell a prepaid SIM card to a foreigner visiting the United States that will include data? I know that cellphone providers in other countries do this and I've been told by one AT&T rep (although contradicted by another) that AT&T will.

Thanks.
