    Hi, I will be spending a couple of days in the states and have been trying to get some info re buying a payg sim card, but the websites I checked (att, tmobile and the like) are not too clear.

    Is it the same as here, where you just go to any shop, buy it and off you go? My phone is an unlocked xperia s... Should it work ok there?

    Thanks,
    G

    I'm just back from the States this week and faced exactly the problem you are looking at. I went to a t-mobile store in the nearest mall and they have a payg package. The deal is you have to first buy a sim for $10 and after that it's $3 a day for the unlimited us calls + us texts and 200MB a day in data. For my week in the states I ended up paying €31. My phone is a HTC One S and it's carried on the network so that wasn't a problem. I would imagine that Verizon, AT&T and Sprint have similar packages.
