any SIM card from any carrier. Also, you can use the unlocked phone overseas by buying SIM cards from local carriers.
I assume you don't do anything fancy with you phone and you don't have Verizon as your carrier. Verizon probably still has the best coverage in the US but their network runs under CDMA and now some LTE but not GSM. I hate Verizon because I can't use my cheapo CDMA phone in most foreign countries.
If you buy a phone from a major carrier (other than Verizon) in the US then it's locked to that carrier. You can get it unlocked after a certain period depending on the carrier.
Go buy yourself a simple unlocked quad band GSM phone like from Newegg, eBay, etc.. and you can use whatever SIM card from any carrier. If you get an unlocked iPhone, get the SIM card cut or buy a SIM card from carriers that support the iPhone (other than Verizon).
