Why not get one there?

Three PAYG with datapack is cheaper.

I am currently in New York City - I can confirm that 3 PAYG are OK for roaming at the moment - both normal SIM and Data SIM.

Charges are 10p per minute calls to UK numbers - MUCH DEARER to USA numbers.
Data is 5p per MB

One thing has changed since my trip in February - Data SIMs used to allow Personal Hotspot - this no longer works.

Unless you expect minimal use during your period abroad a data pack often makes sense - currently an unlimited/unlimited/16GB is £10 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-PAYG-Voice-SIM-Pack/dp/B09XRDRP14?th=1
