     @kaia IIRC it is as bad as in Germany — ID verification is mandatory

     @kaia You can get some pretty cheap prepaid plans from Walmart/Tracfone. Which there is one of in pretty much every US town > 10000 population. There are other options also. What purpose are you asking for?

     @kaia Oh fuck that is a lot of money to charge for roaming data. Depending on where you are going in the country you would want to pick a provider on one of the three networks that operates in the region.

     @lain I read about Airalo and it should work with my phone.
     one q: what happens when the data volume is used up? will it just stop or will phone switch back to roaming?

     @kaia you can activate roaming only for the airalo sim, so things will just stop
