Comms query

Just to get this nagging question out of the way:

Any idea where I can get one of those pay-as-you-go SIM cards for my mobile phone when I touch down in San Diego?

When we visited the US PAYG sims were theoretically available but no one actually had any. The ATT website does not feature PAYG sims but you can get a refurb with a PAYG package for $10.

We ended up buying PAYG phones in Walmart and swopping the SIMs into our phones. This worked fine for us - the phones may be locked to the SIM but the SIMs were not locked to only work with that phone. YMMV
