If you’re in need of a Hawaii SIM card for an upcoming trip, either purchase a U.S. prepaid SIM card before you leave or get one when you arrive in Hawaii.
Before You Go
There are plenty of companies that sell prepaid SIM cards for use while travelling overseas.
SimCorner is one option. They offer country-specific international prepaid SIM cards, this means you can be ready to go before you get on the plane! You can purchase a U.S. SIM card through SimCorner online and have it mailed out to you (they post worldwide).
With the U.S. SIM cards, SimCorner does all of the set up for you. You just need to provide arrival and return dates of your trip when ordering and they’ll have it ready to go for that timeframe. When you get to the U.S. just insert the SIM card into your phone and voila! My family use this company when they visit me in Hawaii (from Australia) and it’s worked like a charm.
