Need SIM for USA

I'm off to New York in 2 weeks time, in need of a SIM card, any recommendations?

Looking for a decent amount of data, not fussed about minutes or texts.

Thanks.

If you are on ee you can use your normal data, calls and texts from your normal plan for no extra charge. I was in New York in July and was pleasantly surprised when I landed and got a text stating this.

Can't fault Three for use abroad - I've with Three anyway but when we go to the US I just get my wife a PAYG 1 month SIM - just make sure you have your numbers set to dial the "+44" part of the number as it's only included if you are dialling another UK number (ie. if you use the phone to dial a local US number, it will still cost!)
