    I am getting a M11x with the GOBI WWAN card for AT&T. I want to be able to use prepaid data so I dont have a monthly fee and can use it randomly. So in other words if I am going on vacation I can just buy a prepaid card and activate it and use the time till it's gone and then be done with it.

    Is this possible?
    I know about the go-phones but can I just buy one of them and use the sim from it?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry I know the whole GOBI thing has been beaten on these forums but was just looking for some guidance on how to use this but not have a recurring bill.
