Here is what I would do if I was ever planning to return to the US again. Go to Virgin Mobile and buy a phone, then set up an accooount in the US when you get here and use it. I think it's 10 cents a minute and 25 cents for ea text and they docary internet for a hefty fee. Every Library, big or small in the US has computers you may use for free and you can even print for around 10 cents a sheet. There are so many places for free WiFi in the US such a Coffee Shops, Golden Arches Supper Club, (MCDs LOL) Same here on TEng, too many freebies here. Good luck and hope your adventures are fun here. A lot of areas don't carry cell service in the US yet.
