  i spoke to telstra – who my phone is with and the person said it can be cheaper to buy a prepaid phone while in america, the amount you get charged with global roaming can be quite expensive.
  speak to your phone company and see what their prices are?

  t-mobile doesn’t have the best reputation in the NYC area. Verizon has the best nationwide coverage.

  I had no problems with T-mobile. In areas where T-mobile didnt have coverage it switched to another carriers recption. Or at least thats what i assume happened because instead of saying T-Mobile at the top, where in aust it says optus or telstra, it had another carriers name. I dont think there were many times I was without reception. I even had reception in the grand canyon which i was pleased about.

  I brought a cheap phone and sim card when I was in the US working at a Summer Camp. I went with T-mobile and it didnt have the best coverage. The second year I took my phone from Australia so I had a phone when I got back into the country and didnt have it on global roaming but I was still able to send texts with it
