SIM card for US
 

Hi,
Travelling to the US in two weeks and would like to buy a SIM card there to recieve calls and would also like a data bundle to check my emails.
My provider in the UK is T Mobile but they are to expensive when using phone in the US. Any tips/suggestions? Thanks so much.

You can buy a prepaid sim at most AT&T or T-Mobile stores, T-Mobile does not offer data on their prepaid service, but you can get it on AT&T ($4.99 for 1MB or $19.99 for 100MB).

And yes, the US Prepaid services are absolutely pathetic compared to what you are used to in the UK.

Remember, AT&T operates primairily on the GSM850 band, so you will need a quadband phone. T-Mobile is mainly on GSM1900.

Thanks so much
