Any prepaid (to my knowledge) in the US will be able to call anywhere in the US for the same cost. You should be able to get a SIM for voice calling or voice calling and data. If you get an account just for voice calling you will likely have a choice of "pay as you go" that is you pay a certain amount and you can either be charged by the minute or you can opt for a monthly plan which gives you unlimited calling. If you want data you will likely have a choice of a set amount of data for a certain cost and (some) will give you "unlimited" data (with restrictions.)
If you use GSM (T-Mobile or AT&T) or any of the "virtual operators" who use either T-Mobile or AT&T. You have to have a phone that was sold by either company or is unlocked to allow you to use any SIM.
I've not been to a lot of airports in the US but I've not seen any mobile phone stores in airports that would sell you a SIM. In order to get a SIM you'll need to go to into the city to an operator's store and buy a "prepaid" SIM kit.
