I'm back online. We're camping in Jersey City (Campground rating: beauty 1, Washroms 5, nearby attractions 10).
We bought an iPad for this trip after a roaming fiasco on the last one. But we needed to get a US SIM card.
First large communications chain in Jersey City offered a 2-year contract at 50 or 80 a month.
Same firm, at their Wall Street store -- can't do an iPad. Across the street, Second communications giant gave us a card but suggested we go to Apple store in Grand Central for installation. Very nice tech in Apple installed card and started setup for us; went well until we got to credit card -- wouldn't take Canadian address. Went to giant's store across the street -- it won't take Canadian cards over the net and they won't take paymet in the store.
Apple suggested a pre-paid card (but they don't have an address) and also a firm we didn't know three blocks away.
Went in, small wait, bought card and one month plan and paid. This took until after 12.
And now I'm online again.
