I have an iphone which would be ace to use in usa for 5wks.

Does anyone know of any sim card I could get that would be similar to what I could get here, where you topup a certain amount and get unlimited/set amount of data free? or any other cheap method.

Cheers,
Dale

    You can pick up sims in drug stores, Target or Walmart. There are (or were) some that have data though if it's enough to run an iPhone I don't know? I guess if you cut down what you use it would last you a while...

    Make sure you're iPhone's unlocked first. . .

    Hi John

    Thanks for that. Yes the Iphone is unlocked. Itd be nice to use it as usual without having to worry about additional costs. Tmobile do one but theres a hefty activation charge...
    Even More Plus Smartphone Unlimited Web & E-mail Plan with T-Mobile SIM Card

    $39.99 per month (no annual contract)

    $35.00 activation charge

    I think that's a billed acc? Which, unless you have a US address and credit history over, there you can't get? But I haven't checked US payg sims this year. . .
