Moving to America

[Anonymous]

I'm going to work in America for a few months and I want to take the Samsung Galaxy S3 I bought from O2 with me and get a local sim card to avoid roaming.

What network in the USA will support it? I know not all networks in the USA offer sim cards or are compatable with European phones.

AT&T and T-Mobile are big over there. If you get your phone unlocked cannot see a problem with compatability.

If your phone is unlocked you shouldn't have a problem. AT&T and T-Mobile are definitely available, but I think even Verizon, which is the biggest carrier in the US now offers sim cards, but possibly not for all phones. You should get a few low denomination PAYG cards when you get there, and see which carrier has the best coverage in the areas you're going to be, or speak to your US work colleagues and ask them who they use.
