BS: Mobile phone SIM card

From: John MacKenzie

I have been told that it would be cheaper to buy a US SIM card than to use my existing UK one when I come over for a month in October. Can I get a card that I can use anywhere in the US and make calls back home or are they 'zoned'. Last time I was over I bought one from Walmart, but it was very limited, and I couldn't call home. I do have a tri band phone that will work on US system. I have found this but don't know if it's value for money or will give me roaming coverage anywhere I need. A little help and advice would be nice, thanks.

Giok, my daughter works for Cellular One (one of the largest cell phone companies in the US). She gets back from vacationing in Florida next week and I will pose your question to her. She knows all about SIM cards.
