   Buying a SIM card in the USA?
  I'm visiting the USA in a couple of days and I was considering buying a US SIM card rather than pay outrageous fees to use my normal phone abroad.I can't get a contract on a US phone, but I was thinking about getting a pre-pay SIM, preferably ordered online and posted to where I'm staying.Any advice on good deals? I can buy something along these lines in the UK which gives call-charges of about $0.20/minute but I'm a bit out of time to get it in time before leaving. Poor planning etc...   
  I'm sure you could get something when you get there.  If it's anything like Canada, you should be able to go to a shopping mall and find a kiosk or a store that'll hook you up.Canada has different carriers than the US (all of which seem to be a bunch of crooks), otherwise I'd make some recommendations for you.   ;  Walmart, Best Buy, some quick marts, etc. all carry pay as you go services. You can usually get a phone for $50 and then just purchase cards / minutes for it. I'm not sure about specifically buying a SIM card, though.   ;  For that matter, the airport should have stuff. Can't promise the pricing will be reasonable.   ;  There is a comparison site here and I'm sure Google can find more.If you just use it for talking, both T-moblie and Net10 have excellent rates for a disposable phone.  (I use T-mobile prepaid, no complaints.)  Both are around $0.10 per minute, a little more when you consider the overhead of purchasing it.
