I was searching for a SIM for a trip to Florida last September, and since my cellphone carrier up here didn't offer U.S. roaming on the prepaid plan I had, I found Airport Wireless on an internet search, and emailed them at their EWR location asking if they had simcards at their stores. Manager answered next day that they had the o2 SIM, and as I needed one as soon as I got to Fla., I was able to pick up one at their store at EWR during a plane change. Worked fine when I activated it from the hotel room upon arrival. The sim cost $19.99 but would've been less had I had bought it from the o2 website or waited and got it at a Bestbuy in Fla., which carries their SIMS and topup cards in most of their stores, but time was short so I bought it at the airport.
