The only places that probably might meet your needs are the places that sell magazines, books, sundries, etc - stop in the first one you see and ask, if they don't have them, they'll know if another place does.

At a minimum, I'm sure they have phone cards.

I think that those magazine shops are usually in the departures area and doubt if I can re enter. Also, they wouldn't be selling Hawaii sim cards, I wouldn't think.................Thanks though.

I did hear of pre paid tourist sim cards available at ABC stores, which as I remember are everywhere around Waikiki, but are there any out by the airport??

No. None by the airport.

When flying in from so far, is the extra 30 min to get to an ABC going to matter?

Or...why not just buy one and have it shipped to you now...then use it when you arrive.

Not really enough time to get one sent to me as I fly out in a few days and I'm making an unexpected stay on Oahu for a day or so and getting picked up by a stranger and would be easier to simply call him upon arrival.
I did find out about this company, but too late to have it sent..........

would have been perfect, if I had enquired sooner.

Use a payphone at the airport.
