US data SIM?

[Anthony Gilbert]

Hi guys, a few might know me from brief accidental meet up a few years back USA. BUT all aside wondered what the best deal is available for pre pay data Sims this year. Will be out from 16th May with a pre paid rental MiFI but noticed some fairly good sim deals as back up? What is your experience?, What deal And what Network?.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tristrame. Thanks for that link. Do you know what carrier/ network Three uses?

They use AT&T and T-Mobile, I also have Three. Can be a little patchy at times but generally it's really good. Would certainly recommend Three over other UK mobile operators.

Hi Nick. Hope you can make it out on the tours this year!

 Thanks for the info. We will as always be renting a Verizon jetpack but have noticed from time to time we still get some gaps in coverage ie, NE OK, NW NEB, and central MO. Wondered if the other networks might still get something there. Hence the SIM will be just for back up! The Three deal looks good.

Three is brilliant for the price, but is patchy as Nick said. I found last year the access to data was limited to when I was connected via AT&T and got minimal use out of T-mobile. 

...which reminds me, I need to sort out a SIM for this year...

I'm on Tour 2 again, just a couple of months to go
