Many Options depending upon how long you are staying and what is your budget , ATT has a plan for about $ 50 /month for unlimited talk/text and data and no commitment.

Here is a link you can find something to your liking.

Walk into an AT & T store and get yourself a sim and explore your options there, There are other Phone companies available but they are slipping my mind.... e-mech, Parlay or someone else can offer .......

T-Mobile same shit. Just got it with a similar phone as you're describing. Seems to work fine, although I don't rely on superfast internet usage.

I was in NYC for 5 weeks last year, I ended up getting some T-Mobile sim which was pretty much unlimited everything for 30 days. Wasn't too expensive overall, liek 30 or 40 bucks.

I have been using http://www.platinumtel.com/plans It runs on the t-mobile network.

I use the pay-as-you-go option and it has been super cheap for me. I end up spending like $10 a month.

$.05 per min talk
$.02 per text
$.10 MB data
