Another option would be to try to get a SIM in advance on eBay (most companies won't mail a SIM overseas, but you may find a seller on eBay who's allowed international shipping.)
For the length of your stay, I'd recommend trying to find a standard prepaid plan instead of a traveler-centric one. There's a number of options available with different levels of talk minutes, texts, and data allotment.
I'm a bit of a cell phone nerd as well, so I often frequent cell phone forums and subreddits. A couple options to check are MintSIM (if you're mainly staying in larger cities and aren't worried about having coverage in all of the rural areas) and Cricket (if you want coverage most rural places and are okay with spending more for that.)
Feel free to ask here with questions if you'd like, although this forum is generally rail-centric. Good resources for prepaid plans include reddit.com/r/nocontract and howardforums.com (check out their General Prepaid forum.)
