>Is an EE sim card preferable to a 3 coverage-wise?

Generally yes.  It combines the former Orange and T-Mobile networks.  I
have great coverage with my 900/1800 phone.

Their Camel plan offers 30 mins of free calls to the US (good for a
month) with a £10 topup, 10p/min thereafter, 25p/min for calls to the
UK.  Calls from the US cost whatever your US carrier charges for calls
to UK mobiles, on the order of 20c/min for a cheap carrier,
considerably more for the expensive ones.

My phone doesn't do mobile data (I have wifi for that) but I see they
have 100MB for £3 or 500MB for £7.50 or 1GB for £12.

R's,
