Cheap Prepaid Sim for USA

Bmann999 on 14/01/2015 - 11:49

I am going to be visiting the US next month for 5 weeks and want a prepaid sim card to put in my phone. I was wondering if anyone had advice on this? I will have wi-fi access most of the time but still want maybe 1GB for browsing/Vibre. I do have a friend's address in the US that I can get stuff sent to.

I found a lot of preloaded sim cards on ebay such as this one:

Does anyone know if these cards are legitimate? It seems like the company's give away the first month cheap because they want you to keep paying afterwards. I think I might be missing something though.

    The eBay link looks interesting. Worth a shot. If it doesn't work out you can always pop into a T-Mobile store and get yourself sorted.

    I have used GlobalGig and I can highly recommend them, it's only data but their rates are very competitive. Although for iPhone I have found you will need to set the APN using unlockit.co.nz for it to work.

      They'll even give you a free sim too

        Just beware of the phone you use. The speeds I got were awful at times (2G) on Globalgig.

        This deal from Dealnews just popped up. Free 4G Hotspot plus 2GB of data, 1 month free, following months $20/month.
