1st time in the USA!

So it's official! I'm finally travelling stateside for my company from the UK.

So I'm curious to know if anyone has any good recommendations for a reliable temporary PAYG SIM card I can use for the week in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, while I'm working. Mostly I need one for data but I will probably be making half a dozen or so calls too.

I'm on a 4G SIM plan here that's faster than a lot of people's home broadband over the pond from what I gather.

I'm going to be in Maryland.

Anyway, any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

T-Mobile has a no contract that may work for you pretty well. Just check your coverage in your area.

Verizon has awesome coverage, but is CDMA so it wont work for you.

AT&T is the only other big company option when it comes to GSM. There are other smaller networks that piggyback on the larger networks that may work out better. I have always had Verizon.

Where about in Maryland? I live in Silver Spring (just north of DC).

The cheapest/easiest option will probably be StraightTalk. http://www.straighttalkbyop.com/

The 3GB of 4G is a bit lower than what you can get from T-Mobile, but for a week it should be plenty.

Cheers guys,

Thanks for the info!

I'll probably try and get the StraightTalk deal while I'm over.

I'm gonna be staying just outside Baltimore, so I'll try and buy a sim in Washington When I fly in this weekend.

Thanks again.
