Data Sim card in Hawaii

[Francis005]

Hi! I'm going to Hawaii next week, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to have Internet access while I'm there. Easiest option would be to open an international package with my carrier, but it's obviously quite pricey, so I'm looking into the option of buying a prepaid SIM card when I'm there.
Last year when I was in Hawaii I used a prepaid sim card from TCAWireless. It worked really great. Does anyone have any experience with other options? I'm mainly looking to found out how much they generally cost, and how easy it is to find them (Google searches came up unsatisfyingly vague on both points). I am searching more such options. Any advice on the matter would be really appreciated.
PS I'm looking for 1-3 GB data package, preferably with no calls/texts (don't need them).

I've used http://Simcorner.com about three times, 5 sims each time: VERY satisfied with service.
Used Travel Sims Direct once, sims didn't work (were microsims handcut down to nanosims).

I find buying the sim in AU before I leave and installing on the plane over the Pacific the easiest way to "hit the ground running" when I land in the LOTFAP.
https://www.simcorner.com/shop/usa/50-usa-prepaid-sim-card.html offers first 2GB/6GB (AU$59/79) at up to 4G speed and then throttles down to 2G speed.

Another great value option is t-mobile's tourist plan US$30 (2G LTE data, automatically expires after 21 days, with no refills and no migrations to other T-Mobile plans) - see https://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/Prepaid-International-Tourist-Plan :you need to find a t-mobile shop or have a US shipping address if you purchase online.

+1 for simcorner - efficient and worked well - you may not have time to get it delivered before you go to the US but IIRC they have a store at both Sydney and Melbourne - might be worth calling to confirm they have what you want in stock

Bought a Red Rocket (I think) at a local 1,2,3 Store (like 7/11)...it was terrible.

Went to AT&T and got a prepaid one month package and it worked great on all islands...well where there was service anyway.
Only downside was AT&T are not in Waikiki, had to go to shopping centres a few kms away.
This was a year or two back but...
