currently have unlocked iphone4 with a giffgaff sim card and was looking at the prices to phone from America and it is £1 per minute.

can anyone recommend a pay as you go american sim that offers good value for money to call and text home aswell as offering some data?

    I would just grab a local sim when you get there.

    Most drug stores sell them and places like Walmark or Traget.

    The problem you might have is finding a mirco sim, I can only rememberer seeing full sized one's, but you can always cut one to fit.

    Also, bare in mind, you pay to receive calls over there as well as make them, so you need to factor that in to the amount of credit you buy.

    Not a sim only option but Net10 is cheap
  • I agree that local sim would be the best option.
