cell phone plan

[7window]

Is it possible to get a cell phone plan USA for one month? If so, where can I do this? Just voice no data needed. Thanks

I think you need to go prepaid.

Go to walmart, target and any other such store and buy pre-paid phone. will cost around $20 - $40 + minutes probably a $20 card will be a good value. T-Mobile is a good value IMHO. Or even any damn strip mall and you will find a cell phone shop, one of the 4 major carrier or even a local peggie backer...
But if you can reach a best buy or Walmart, they have the cheapest phone... plans/minutes are same everywhere...

There are tons of options. How many minutes do you need for this one month?

Are you bringing your own phone and only need a sim card? International phones work on AT&T's network so you could maybe go to an AT&T store and get a no-contract sim card from them.

EDIT: Actually, if all you care about is voice, I think T-Mobile would work too. They have a pretty good prepaid outfit that should fit your needs and it's cheap.

Bad idea, you have to order the sim card (which costs $15) if you're bringing your own phone, and you're paying for data you won't use.

I think T-Mobile Prepaid or AT&T Go Phone is the way to go.

I am bringing my own phone and have a sim car. Looks like my best option is tmobile. The only thing is my one hour meetings.

The SIM card that you have is for your existing carrier. But if you get a pre-paid AT&T gophone, then you can just pull the SIM from it and drop it into your device.

Yeah, you definitely want to pull the sim card out of your phone before you get here. Most carriers in the US charge exorbitant rates for international roaming, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same applies to carriers in other countries as well.

Pull out your sim card and get a new sim card with service from an AT&T or T-Mobile store.

depends on my meetings. Like today I have 2 one hour meetings and somedays none.

If you are going to be in region that has good Verizon service, Page Plus Cellular is a good option (uses Verizon Pre-Paid network): http://www.pagepluscellular.com

On gsm (T-Mobile or At&t), both T-Mobile and At&t have $2 daily plans for unlimited calling. For the whole month, H2O has 1000min for $25, T-Mobile has 1500min for $30, Airvoice has 5000min for $35, and Simple Mobile has "unlimited" for $40.
