i'm sure this has been asked a 1000 times but...

I am confused!
We fly to New York next month, and need a way to contact home.
My mobile is PAYG with 02, although unlocked, so any sim will do.
I need to be able to phone other mobiles in the uk and them us,although it will only be one number, but they can get any sim as well, as cheaply as poss, whats the best way?
Any idea pleas

  • Generally people recommend going to walmart or similar and buying pay as you go mobile and top it up.
    Personally I have bought an AT&T pay and go sim off fleabay for a fiver and will register and top up just before I go new York next month
  • Your UK phone may not work in the USA unless it's quadband.

    Much better to get a cheap PAYG there, if you must have a mobile.

    Much cheaper still to use a calling card to phone home or Skype.
