GPRS / Internet in the USA FL area

I hope it is OK posting such a question here.

I am from the UK and am going to Florida for 3 weeks to do my PPL, I will be taking my Nokia 6230i and my laptop with. I can currently use my mobiles modem to make a GPRS connection, via my laptop. No probs at all.

But when I get to Florida my paln is to buy a Prepay/Pay as you go sim card, insert it into my Nokia, which is Triband and use GPRS on the local Sim, as it would be a lot cheaper. Apart from setting the connections on the phone and PC. can anyone see any problems?

Is the US GPRS the same, will I have any hardware problems. Do pay as you go sim cards support GPRS. Are they enabled by default?

Any advise will be welcome
