SFO Airport: buying T-mobile SIM card?
I will be transiting through SFO tomorrow and would like to purchase a pre-paid T-mobile SIM card to use during my one week stay in PSP.
Is there a T-mobile store or Kiosk, or any other store, airside where I can purchase the SIM card?
Thanks!

the only place I know is airport wireless
post-security in T3. But I don't think they sell sim cards. I don't think anywhere in SFO sells sim cards.

Don't know where the OP is staying but there is a T Mobile shop very close to Powell Street BART (1 block up Powell) which certainly sells their SIMs.

There is a Wal Mart in Palm Springs near the airport. You can buy T-Mobile prepaid phones there. If the SIM card only kit is not in stock, then you can buy the cheapest phone kit which should be $20 or less.
There is also a Target in a nearby town that should also have T-Mobile prepaid phones.
