SIM card for USA

[Shnozz]

Any recommendations? Need a SIM to use is in my (currently locked to O2 but hopefully shortly unlocked..) iphone. Cover the States and preferably a pre-paid calls with cheap calls/texts back to USA and, even better, a bit of 3G coverage.

We just got back from florida, we bought Samsung flip Go-Phones with at+t ($15), these phones have a simcard which can be swapped over, we planned to but never bothered. It was $25 for unlimited domestic voice and text, and I think $50 for voice/text and unlimited data for the month.

We just bought them in walmart and they activitated and loaded the credit on for us.

You can also add credit to use when texting/calling to outside the USA I believe

I was in the states for a month and bought a TMobile data SIM from their store. I think they're changed the prepaid tariffs now, but it was £45 (iphone compatible SIM) so not that cheap, but having data was a requirement for me.

Bought a microsim off ebay and just "loaded" it with the new AT&T Smartphone tariff $60 dollars unlimited calls, texts and internet for 30 days. Also added an international calling package for another $10 which gives me 1000 mins of international calls for free

Well worth it IMHO

The BT Smart Talk app is really good if you just want to make calls to the UK.

Thanks chaps. Landline in the UK isn't a BT one so unfortunately cannot use that option.

Many thanks for the help. Will pick up a card once I am there.
