I am going to the USA soon, can I use an American pay-as-you-go sim card in my UK Nokia E71??

Check the reception of frequencies of your phone here :

Is it a E71-1 , 2 or 3 ?
Check the provider's radio frequencies . In general for GSM (WCDMA) and Edge reception there won't be a problem .
For 3G (UMTS , HSDPA) reception , I think only T-Mobile is compatible .

Thanks for the help so far!

My phone is locked to T-Mobile UK, will I need to get it unlocked for T-Mobile USA?

I suppose , using the UK SIM card , it won't be an problem . But using a US SIM card it may occur . Could you contact T-Mobile ?
And tell us when you know more ?
For unlocking you have to ask them the unlockcode anyway ......
