My ride is now taking shape... I've booked my flights and have 89 days to to LA from Boston via Nashville..... taking in some places along the way that were significant to Johnny Cash....
I'll be wanting a SIM card for three months with a decent data allowance to keep my blog going and be able to get in contact with warm showers hosts, google maps etc.....
Any recommendations for a SIM deal for Johnny Foreigner visiting the USA please?...
You likely know about your phone, but just in case I will mention that there are two technologies, CDMA, which Verizon uses and GSM which all the other US based companies use. I'm not certain, but I believe that most European countries use GSM, so your phone, unless it is a recent model designed to handle both (such as an unlocked iPhone 6 or more recent) you may not have a choice.
Right now I use att after switching from Verizon a few years back. I agree with what has been said, I think that Verizon has a bit of an advantage over ATT in rural areas. I did find however that in the mountains of North Carolina, and Tennessee that a lot of small town have their own regional carriers and they seem to be the only ones that are reliable. But that was several years ago, perhaps it's gotten better. None the less I always look for one restaurant meal a day somewhere where they advertise WiFi, so I can be certain of a signal and connect a while with the world. That's been the most reliable thing for me.
There is always the option of a pre paid US phone.
