Hi,

We will be road travelling through the western US next month. I have a
tri-band mobile phone, but think that global roaming charges (from
Australian account) may too expensive for regular use. Are there fairly
cheap pre-paid phone or SIM card packages avaliable in the US, and if so
where are they available and what might be the approximate costs? What about
hiring a phone from the rental car company?

Thanks,
Keith

Keith, I used a Cingular sim card when over in May ( East coast
though) It cost 20 US dollars and top-up ranged from 10$ upwards.

Well pleased with them they were very helpful in advice on which kind
of sim card to get.
