When my brother was in CA more than a year ago, he tried to buy a prepaid cellphone card but told me it wasn't possible unless you buy a phone with it.

Either he didn't try real enough or it might be true.

Can i get a prepaid card only over there?
And which should i get for the Miami area?

Thanks

I am *pretty sure* you can still get prepaid SIM cards. Just go to an AT&T or TMobile store and ask for prepaid SIM card. We have a lot of prepaid phone services here that do require a phone locked to a service and you simply buy a "refill" card to add minutes to that phone. That is NOT what you want. That is what most big box stores sell.

Just go to AT&T or TMobile store and ask for a prepaid SIM you should be all set.

Thanks mate!

I'll do it

No problem. By the way, where you coming from??

Sweden mate!

It's really really cold here at the moment! -10 celsius. So i'm looking forward to getting some better weather!

One question: will those pre-paid SIM cards provide data access?

How long are you staying? It might be cheaper to just get a month-to-month plan - I'm currently paying $40/mo for mine for 500 minutes and unlimited data.

staying 2 weeks. I was wondering the same, if they provide data access

i always buy a prepaid card at the country i visit. it always ends much much cheaper than roaming.
