Best Value Data Only SIM in USA

Hey guys,

This is one for frequent or recent visitors to the USA.

I'm after the best value data only SIM for my stay in the USA. I have a spare Galaxy S5 I plan on using as a hotspot rather than using public Wi-Fi, and for the hotel I am staying at that doesn't provide free Wi-Fi.

I'll only require about 2GB as 2 out of 3 hotels I will be staying at have Wi-Fi. Apart from that, I may choose to take it with me as a portable hotspot as an alternative to enabling 3G/4G on my main device. That way I have mobile data at all times without incurring crazy costs.

Thanks in advance

    Where are you going to be (city/rural), and for how long? Check out t-mobile.

      City (New York, LA, Vegas) for 14 days. I'll check them out

    I used t mobile on a hot spot the last time I went to the USA. - https://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

    There's another option - http://www.lycamobile.us/en/national-plans
    The $35 plan has 4 gb + unlimited calls for a month. If you know your first hotel address, you can have it delivered before you reach.

      Liking the T Mobile 6GB plan. Cheaper than I thought. Thanks for the suggestions

    T mobile is good. However coverage isn't great when you get off highways in rural areas (relive the GPRS and edge experience).

      I won't be visiting rural areas so T Mobile should work for me. Thanks!
