New York - UK/USA sim card

2»

Comments

  • For your daughter’s trip to New York, she can pick up a T-Mobile or AT&T prepaid SIM card either online before she leaves or at JFK Airport once she arrives. Both offer good data plans and coverage. If her phone supports eSIM, she can get a plan from Airalo or Holafly and activate it remotely before landing. JFK also has kiosks where she can buy a SIM card as soon as she steps off the plane. These options should help her stay connected without high roaming charges. I recently moved from US to Philippines, In this country TM is mostly used and are also very good service here.
