Hi,

A question for those who regularly visit the US.

We are visiting DC for a week soon with my brother's family and was thinking about getting a couple of PAYG SIM cards for the trip, probably Cingular GOPhone SIMs, so we can keep in touch while out and about.

Can I just clarify -
GoPhone PAYG unlimited implies that for $1/day you get unlimited mobile - mobile calls - is that correct?
I know local landline calls are free - how about local calls to a landline from a mobile or are they 10c/min?
There is a Cingular dealer 1/2 mile from the hotel - I assume I can just buy a SIM from them (with the $10 activation credit), activate it in the store and put it in my US compatible, unlocked phone?

TIA
