How to activate a 14 day prepaid sim

I bought a 14 day prepaid sim for my unlocked android phone to use in the US next month.   How far in advance can I activate and how to do this?  I live in the UK. Thanks for your help.

    You need to contact aeromobile. Mnvo’s have different rules.

    I just realised the sim card is from aerobile.  It can be used for service on TMobile.  I found a link to their site to activate it.   It said to request activation at least 3 days before arrival but not how far in advance you can make the request.

    Actually that's not true.  Tourists are able to activate via the Internet before arriving in the US.  I just need to know how far ahead I can and the link.  Thanks

    You need to activate the sim on Tmobile towers the earliest you can activate it is when you arrive.
