Anyway, I don’t have any burning standard question I would ask any of them, but would enjoy to hear them tell their story “live”. It’s not the same to just read an interview.

My list would a little different – from your list that I’ll like to meet:

Jeff B – have met, yay. Would like to meet again.
Richard B
James Dyson
Paul Graham
Michael Moritz

..hmm, I think I should write myself a definite list.

- but I’m interested, what would you ask?

I think there may be vendors at the airport, but I’d go direct to the AT&T or T-Mobile stores instead. (they are everywhere). The airport places rip you off.

I plan to go to the US this spring. Would you know if there are mobile phone kiosks at the San Francisco airport arrival hall where we can buy prepaid sim cards, preferably T-mobile, AT&T or Virgin mobile?

What settings to I need to edit when I slip the AT&T sim into my unlocked iPhone purchased from overseas? If this is not possible, will a Nokia E72 work for prepaid 3G data?

I’ve been to write this post for Americans travelling abroad. Thankfully that situation is much easier. Also, if your phone is unlocked it’s a lot easier and cheaper to get local sim cards, which will save you a fortune.

My question is a reverse one. I have T mobile Exhibit II 4G> Will it work on 3G frequencies in Europe? I am not able to get any definitive answer for it.

I’m travelling to US next month and I need data plan that has tethering enabled (must be a micro sim). I have one extra unlockec iPhone 4 (GSM) I would like to use as hotspot to share the connection to my other devices (iPad and another iPhone). What are my options from AT&T?

Planning a trip to the US in 2013 so this will be useful. My unlocked LG phone is quad-band GSM and 3G 850 / 900 / 2100 so it sounds like I can use it with a local SIM card. A question about iPads. My iPad2 is wireless only (no SIM). Will it be compatible with American wireless networks at motels/hotels where I stay? The iPad was purchased and is used in Australia.
