App use with Roshan sim card

[Kitulu]

Deploying soon, and I have already gotten the unlock code from VZW so I can get a sim card when I get to Afghanistan. Will the alps that require data usage, like weather, social media, market, etc etc work on a foreign sim card?

If you buy a card with a data plan i don't see why it shouldnt

Keep us informed on if it works. Be safe...

You will need to add an APN with the settings for the operator the sim is from. Make sure you have the phone switched to GSM/UMTS mode. (Global mode is only if you use VZW's original SIM)

I leave for Afghan soon too. Any new word on a Verizon data plan? Last time I checked, it's $20. 48 per mb overseas. And for those that don't know, $2.38 a min with the International add-on, $0.50 to send a text, $0.05 to receive a text...

I have a Verizon Droid 2 Global in Afghanistan on the Roshan network. They offer data plans that are unreliable and EXPENSIVE. I just use it as a phone until I get within WiFi range. It is possible, but you're going to pay for it and it may not work, depending on which base/FOB you're at.
