In the US, what's a good prepaid GSM SIM card without a phone?

If she’s there for a year, it might be worth getting a contract, as that may well be cheaper overall. As she already has the phone, she’d want a “SIM Only” deal, if she can get it. A carrier store on/near campus ought to be used to international students, so should be able to help if possible. (I’ve had a sales guy in a small AT&T shop look at me like I was from Mars when I asked to buy a PAYG sim with data… Luckily the store manager knew what I was on about, and was delighted to at last sell one!)

I’ve not tried T-Mobile PAYG before (AT&T has always worked out cheaper for the trips I’ve done), but I’ve not heard of T-Mobile SIMs not working in unlocked phones. It certainly isn’t something that was mentioned the last time I almost got a T-Mobile one… Are you sure it isn’t just that most AT&T phones are locked to AT&T, so can’t be taken to T-Mobile unless you get an unlock code for them?
