Travelling to USA- can I use my data there?

Hi so I am travelling on holiday to the USA soon and wondered if I can/how To use my data there ? Does any one know much about the pass for £9.50 per month if that’s worth it? Thanks in advance

As it is not in EU, you may only use your usual UK allowances there if you buy for £11.40 / month or have already as a Smart Benefit the Roam Abroad Pass or you have an EE Max Plan. Otherwise you will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/roaming-costs/countries/usa .

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure roaming is enabled on your account.

Okay thank you. Can I buy this pass for £11.40 as a one off and cancel when I return do you know? I currently have unlimited data, does this mean it’s unlimited when I’m there if I purchase this pass?

The Roam Abroad Pass is charged pro-rata from the day you order it (text ROAMING PASS to 150) to the day you cancel it (text STOP ROAMING PASS to 150). You do start by paying up to the next bill date. Then in the billing month you cancel it you will get a rebate for the days after you cancel.

Assuming you're on contract there is a FUP when roaming of 50GB per billing month.
