I used ProjectFi SIMs in my iphone and also in my Peplink LTE routers. Not as fast as VZW but they work.

Google Fi is great and all, however right now you're limited to only being able to use 3 models of phone on the 
network, wouldn't recommended that for an overseas traveler.

Hi All,

sorry for possible off-topic, I really did not know where to ask this.

I'm going to visit USA for two weeks. I want to buy a local prepaid SIM
card mostly for IP access.

Is it possible in USA to buy a prepaid SIM as a visitor, without long
term contract?

I need a public (can be dynamic) IP address, NOT over NAT, and (or)
IPv6, if possible.

My phone is GSM UMTS 3G.

Expected traffic volume is about 10G.

Will use it in New York City and Orlando City, not in rural areas.

Good data roaming tariff in Cannada will be a big advantage.

What can you advice?

Includes public ipv6

But here in the USA we UMTS is much poorer experience relative to LTE, you
can get a decent LTE unlocked phone for around $100

Prepaid plans generally wont include roaming to canada




Thank you!
