Sim Cards for New York
April 09, 2007 11:27AM
Hi All

Just wondering how easy it is to get a Sim card for my mobile to use in NY. Is there any web sites that sell US/NY sim cards. I already have a quad band phone and a card that has free incoming calls.
Also is it easy to get a pay as you go phone in NY.

Thanks
Garry

People have reported that Tmobile sells SIM cards.

If you want to buy a pay-as-you-go phone, I like Tmobile. They sometimes run sales where you get a Nokia 6030 for $35.

Bought what a SIM card or a pay-as-you-go phone?

If it's a SIM card, which service - Tmobile, Cingular, Verizon, Boost, something else?

This would be great to know that Duane Reade which is everywhere sells SIM cards.

Oops, I stuffed up. I bought the T Mobile card at a phone shop and the recharge card was at Duane Reade.

I bought a sim card on ebay and just activated it when I got to NYC. The seller wouldn't post to Ireland so I had it routed to my NYC address

I have a Virgin pay as you go. I think I paid about $20 for it at Target. The minimum to top it up is $20. I can do it via the phone, a phone card from the grocery store, or using my PayPal.

My son has a fancy dancy Crikett, but gee when he goes snowboarding he gets no reception on the slopes and guess who's phone he borrows because it has gotten reception where ever I've roamed including NYC.

This time in NY I bought an AT&T prepaid sim card, I am very pleased with their service and rates and they even give a bonus $5 every now and then. Much better than T Mobile were last time.

Answer is yes Kristina. Just spoke to Tony in Astoria T mobile store. There's a procedure though. They need to unblock your Iphone at an authorized store,easy to find. You may want to see if you can have your phone unblocked from home. Otherwise will cost you $50-60 dollars to unblock plus what ever plan you choose...
