hi, going to usa.

tour guide suggest to rent from "travel recommends". saying malaysia hp may not be used in usa.

is it because of sim card or the network gsm/lte issue etc?

I also roam with my iphone 6s over there. However do check your wifi device band, cause my friend was facing slow internet speed cause his phone is an older model.

I got my sim here (cheaper than buying in states) https://hello1010.my/

sorry, just notice this.

top up is simple. walk in to any t-mobile store and they would be able to help you...
