Maybe I;m the only one that needs this - but if you just want a simple SIM
card for a simple gsm for calling and sms only - prepaid only? What would
be the best option? I'm planning to stick in the area between DC, New York
and New England with maybe short trips outside.

That's all well and good, but if you just want (for example) something to call
someone with as soon as you land..? What then?

Oh, that would be perfect. Thanks, Josh. :)

Sorry I'm late to this, but you've probably discovered by now:
For prepaid, the US basically stinks -- few options, expensive, US-only
standards, kill you on data/3G.

systems: if you're used to SIM cards and 3G on an unlocked
Hi,
I looking for recommendations for SIM cards to use during Wikimania
to Nevada California area (I'm staying a month).
Until now, the best that I found is ATT Pay As You Go plans - need to
purchase a cheap device (didn't found option just to purchase sim card) for
about 25$, monthly plan
I know that there's a T-mobile plan: unlimited data service, unlimited
international SMS, unlimited local calls. I bought this card in China and
cost 555RMB a month, I do not know how much it costs in USD.

Looking at Net10 a little more.
#1 You must have an unlocked GSM phone for the SIM card only option.
#2 Be sure you check the coverage map against your plans as Nevada coverage is
spotty outside of Reno and Vegas. No Nationwide coverage is actually 100% in
the US. I don't know if that is
It ultimately depends on where you're going. Some parts of the country
are absolutely hopeless for wireless coverage. Pretty much every city,
though, has some kind of wireless coverage, as do most minor towns
outside the cities.

If I want to buy a SIM card, where can I go to get it? Are there
communication shops near the venue or the hostel?
