   Here in Australia, I buy data-only SIM cards from Ebay for $2.50   
   - $5 which last a month with somewhere between 3 and 15GB of data   
   (plenty for me). I don't know how the sellers find themselves with   
   thousands of these cards, or whether a similar situation exists   
   overseas, but it works out great for me. Make sure to check the   
   listing description for the expiry date of the cards sold.
