Hawaii SIM card or wifi router from Japan?

Hello.
My family is coming from Japan.
I'm bringing my SIM free iPhone and I'm wondering if I should buy a SIM card or rent a WiFi router after I come to Hawaii.
When I came last year, I went to AT&T to buy a SIM card and it cost me $ 55 …
My sister is staying for 1 week and my parents for 2 weeks, and I just need to be able to use LINE and web search. We don't need a phone number, especially not a Hawaii phone number.
If anyone knows of a good and affordable SIM card, please let me know ！.

AT ＆ I have used various SIMs including T, and I think this is the most reliable and stable one with no trouble.
H20 Wireless

If you don't need Hawaii number, you can use Rakuten Mobile for one month.
I change my contract to Rakuten Mobile's 990yen/3G when I go to Hawaii.

I use H2O Wireless on a daily basis.
I have not experienced any problems with my daily use.
They are using AT&T's line.
I think 2GB plan is enough if you don't watch videos or search around.
Also, you can call Japanese landlines for free.

I think the cheapest is Tello. \Freeway coverage is a bit difficult since it is a T-Mobile line ） 1G with phone, $ 7/m

SJDummy,

Tello, it's cheap ！
I spend almost all my time at home and at work with WiFi everyday, so I hardly use data.
Calls to Japanese landlines seem to be free, and I will consider the 1GB plan.

Thank you all for the information.
Sorry, I've only been in Hawaii for 4 months and my English is not good enough. I've only been in Hawaii for 4 months and my English is not good enough
I looked at both websites but I don't know which one to buy … I'd like to buy a phone with phone and 1G $ 7/month, I want to use my iPhone for LINE and such. I want to use my iPhone for LINE and other things, but I don't know which one to choose, and if it is possible to use it only for the 7-14 days of my stay, and after that I can leave it without cancelling …... … Sorry for all the questions ...

Since you said you have an iphone, we assume you will be using it and only pay the monthly fee. However, if you leave it unused, it will automatically continue every month. $ 7 is only for 1G of data and 100 minutes of talk time, and does not include the SIM itself. You will get a Hawaii 808 phone number. If you don't make calls, it's $ 6/m for 1G (No minutes) and $ 10/m for 2G.
