Has anyone ever tried Prepaid Sims while travelling.
Heading to NYC soon and trying to find a good Sim card option that gives relatively good data options so that if I need data while out about I have it. For things like uber etc.

This is what I found but it almost seems to good?
Just get a sim when you arrive. I'd recommend AT&T
Go to Walmart when you get to the USA and get a straight talk sim card. Costs about 49 dollars and you get 50gb of data.
Be mindful of USA sim offers that drop back to 3g once LTE data has been expended, I have had multiple terrible experiences with less than dial up speeds when this occurs (ie google maps timing out type speed issues). I am now extremely cautious of the "unlimited" plans with speed fallback.
Had heaps of problems with Woolworths Global…would not recommend, Barcelona OK, Naples no good, Rome OK, Dubai OK, Muscat nothing, Mumbai nothing, Cochin sometimes, Singapore nothing…took 2 Sims JIC :)…one did not activate at all…Help did finally fix connection in Singapore after 48hrs, while we at the airport on free WiFi (Passport verified)
I used Arieli Mobile (http://www.arielimobile.com/) for a 3 week trip last October. No issues, unlimited data, good speed, would use again. Only time I didn't have coverage was in the middle of Navajo Nation (Utah / Arizona) territory where there weren't any AT&T towers.
Just came back from Europe trip - 4 Weeks
Used https://www.prepaidsims.com.au/products/prepaid-europe-sim-c…
Did put in the wrong activation date on order, so I missed out one day. But was corrected within 24 hours, and after that, happy days.
Would recommend for Europe ( worked also in Switzerland )
Never used it before but the last time I went to NY I just got a prepaid sim when I got there. I used AT&T but T-mobile is pretty good too.
