Can i buy pay as you go sim card for 3G connection when visiting US? I am in canada.

[newipad2]

I have the 3G Wifi 64Gb iPad 2

I have a sim card from my Canadian 3G carrier no contract connectivity payable monthly, only valid in Canada.

If I goto US for a vacation can I goto a carrier and purchase a similar sim card for use in the US?

If I roam on my canadian sim card I get charged an exorbitant roaming charge. Something like $2.00 per megabyte.

any guidance appreciated.

I think this may work through AT&T if you have GSM. I suggest you contact them.

You are better off buying a SIM card from the state because roaming rate is like $2 per MB

Send from my iPad 2
