USA local SIM card

Nice advertising, thank you! =)

But still have open some questions I asked before:

1. My phone is not LTE but 3G GSM/UMTS capable (all bands,
850/900/1700/1900/2100). Will it work? Is 3G coverage good enough in New
York and Orlando for VoIP calls (SIP, Viber, Skype)?

2. Is there public or private IP address? IPv6?
