Worked as expected. June 13, 2013
Reviewer: Joev from NSW Australia  
Guys the instructions were fantastic to get the sim working with data, as soon as I landed in the US. Just a note you need to enable the USA profile BEFORE you leave, so I was going in in the plane just before takeoff.

However I have an Iphone 5 and I noticed that deleting the USA profile once I got back did not give me full LTE, I was constantly stuck on 3G, so I had to do a full restore of my phone to get LTE back there.

Expensive but good June 5, 2013
Reviewer: T from Sydney, NSW Australia  
We got the sims just a few days after ordering, which was great.  Setup from Australia was pretty straight forward. It did seem a expensive, but everything worked as expected.

Worked fine, no problems June 1, 2013
Reviewer: Jo Fisher from Grovedale, VIC Australia  
Honestly, I was a little skeptical that it would work but it did! I had to cut the sim to fit into my phone but that wasn't a big deal, i just used my scissors. Then followed their instructions and when I landed in LA I was able to use it straight away! Very happy with it and I would use them again!

Couldn't have worked better May 30, 2013
Reviewer: S from Qld Australia  
Purchased a US sim to put in my old iPhone 4.  Registered it before we went and added the $65 plan that included data.  Added credit a few days before we left.  I also went to unlockit.co.nz before we left and changed to the APN.  Turned the phone on whist still on the plane after arriving at LAX (they told us when we could) and snapped a photo out the window and uploaded it to Instagram.  Phone and data worked straight away, it was awesome.  
Will definitely use Mobipassport again, it was all very easy!
