USA SIM Card Recommendation?

Hi,

We are finally going back to the USA for Thanksgiving. Can anyone recommend a USA sim card that I can use just for the time we are there that has calls and data etc.

Amazon has many but they have mixed reviews...

Thanks,

Who is your UK provider?

I'm with EE and i was able to get my full plan (data minutes etc)

I guess that sim would be just for calling and getting calls from US people?   Like Ben said, lots of providers here like giffgaff will do free roaming in the us. 

We used a 3 PAYG  SIM card - we ordered the SIM and then bought a 1 month package which gave us about 10GB of data to use while we were in the US.  It worked very well.  It also allows you to make and receive calls to the UK for free but not US to US.  This was convenient for us as we were staying with in-laws who don't have internet.

For calls within the US we used VOIP - in our case this was Skype - you can either use Skype credit and call directly from the Skype app,  or buy a local US  Skype number if you want people to be able to call you back at a specific number.  A US Skype number cost us $6 for 1 month.  You have to cancel 3 days before the next month starts if you don't want this to be a recurring charge.  We did try and use an esim from Airalo for a data package but had some mixed results - it didn't work on day 1 of our trip, and on a couple of days in the next two weeks it also stopped working.  In principle it is a good thing if your phone supports esim as you don't have to mess around with changing sim cards.  However.........I expect that it will get better as the technology becomes more mainstream.
