I'm visiting for two weeks and roaming prices are insane, I'm considering getting a prepaid SIM-card. Can I easily grab one in any shop, e.g. at the airport/Walmart? What are the prices? Unlimited data would be nice, but I can survive with a few GBs too, I'd probably need it mainly for navigation.

Yeah pretty easy dont even need an ID for the majority of states afaik. Not sure about airports but I assume so. Big corpo stores (target and walmart) will have them regardless though so no worries on that. As for prices the cheapest unlimited plan would be like visible at 25$ per month, avoid mint mobile since youll have to pay for 3 months in advance. Have fun

Edit: I'd go with visible since its on verizon's network which covers the majority of states, at&t prepaid is also an option but Im not sure on the price especially for unlimited data

Edit 2: forgot visible is an online store only so it wouldnt even be available at physical stores

Any ideas for T-mobile? It seems that Verizon and AT&T use exotic frequencies for my phone, so maybe that could be the best option, but I don't know how good their coverage is...

T-Mobile will issue an E-SIM for their prepaid service. I have used it as a secondary network within the past year to supplement the poor Verizon coverage in certain areas. Check their site for details
