    Surface pro 2/3

    T-Mobile Pay-Per-Day

    I use T-Mobile each time I fly into USA from Australia - just show passport and get a sim. You just log onto T-Mobile web site and set up your account and manage it from there. From memory I might have had issues with loading credits using an Australian credit card but solved using a prepaid...
