Trailer: 1974 Boler 1300
Posts: 105
Here in Manitoba, Canada (birth place of the Boler) I use 64gb 3G iPad 1 along with 7-11's Speakout cellular pay as you go service. The have a data plan which they call an Unlimited Browsing Plan for only $10 a month, which works great on an iPhone or the iPad.

You can buy the SIM Card from 7-11 for $10. When you buy $100 worth of airtime, they credit your account with $125. Thats good for a one year data plan for the iPad.

They piggyback off the Rogers service, so you are coast to coast.

Most of the iPad/iPhone Apps work with the exception of some of the video streaming video apps like netflix, but with a 64gb iPad, I load can load up on the movies before we go.

Now for what works, email, web browser, weather apps, newspaper apps, radio apps...etc.

So for $10 a month the Speakout service along with the iPad make the ultimate camping companion! Internet, movies, games, news, email and GPS all rolled into one small device!

Speakout will not work in the USA. Infact when you are literally 1/4 mile on the other side of the border, it's gone. Since the iPad is not locked to a service provider like the iPhones are, I believe AT&T has a decent pay as you go data plan that should work for the iPad as well.
