Having got a 3 UK sim myself for the States I can highly recommend it for data usage. If you want it pm me your address and I will post it to you on Monday - no charge

Did you download the Uber app on your normal Irish mobile sim before you switched the sim in your phone or did you do it with the 3 sim? I am going to the States in a few weeks so I activated my 3 sim today to make sure it worked before I went. It worked straight away, didn't seem to have to be in the UK or to have to register it. Now I am wondering should I link the Uber app to the 3 number that came with the sim or just do it on my normal eir mobile number. I'd hate to have it all tied to my eir account, switch sims at the airport and then Uber won't work. For what it's worth whatsapp and Revolut all seemed to still work automatically.

However I downloaded another app which is basically the same thing called Lyft and that worked like a charm. Lyft is actually cheaper than Uber and they kept sending me discount codes while I was there. I think out of maybe 20 taxis I took on my trip I only paid full price for 5 of them, the rest were either 50% or 20% off.

I was automatically on a edge or G signal so internet did not work when I first arrived so was a disaster. I did go into settings and change the operator which took forever for some reason. I rarely do that but I remember doing it in Bulagaria years ago on another phone and straight away after searching for other networks they all poped up it took about 2 minutes to find the other networks in New York. I also was not able to connect to some of the networks or get a 4G signal which was a bit weird considering I was in Manhattan New York city. So all I got was a H+ signal eventually. So at least I got internet but the lack of 4G surprised me.

I cannot detect any other service provider on the phone. Anyone know of any tricks? I bought a 15GB data add on, so far ive managed to get through 60mb
