Hi, I did something similar about 5 months ago. Going to LA, to SF, to LV, stopping for a week in each location. I'm British too, so I should be able to help :)
I was told phones wouldn't work in america, but if you ask your travel agent, or your phone company, they should be able to rent you a phone while you are away for a fairly modest fee. Also friends and family can then get in touch with you whenever they want.
I know this really sucks, but seeing as you will be changing location, you might want to try AOL for free access why you are over there. I think you get something like 300-500 free hours right now. There are quite a lot of cyber-cafes in LA, and they tend to be ok. I also saw loads of pay phones with a modem connection socket for you to connect through, and most decent hotels if you ask, will tell you if you can connect from your room, and one I stayed in in SF actually had designated rooms with modem sockets on them.
Enjoy your holiday! :)
