Hi. Moving to NYC for a bit over the summer from the UK and was wondering about how phones / phone system works over there.
I have an iPhone on a UK contract and ideally would like to work some kind of pay as you go phone over in the US, that will work with iPhone and for apps / maps etc.
Anyone know if this is possible? Can I just get it unlocked and then get a new sim card?

I'm interested too. Will be in the States from June - August.

Would this work with my current phone?

i've never heard of a pay-as-you-go plan for an iphone. they're available for regular phones:

So if i get my phone unlocked, i can use it in the USA?
So then ext question then, if it has a pay as you go sim, does anyone know if it will work with data as well as calls? Do they do that kind of stuff now? Had the same contract for literally 10 years, so never had to worry !

not an iphone, but in the u.s. you can go to a seven 11 and leave with a disposable cellphone (the ones that drug dealers/ kidnappers use) for a few bucks, you get text messaging, internet access and much more, no need to leave your name or sign contracts.
When you are ready to go back, go to a mall parking lot, break the phone in half and yell "Fuck you and your product" then get in your car and speed out of the parking lot like a maniac.
This would make for an amazing story for everyone in the parking lot.
