Thanks Chris_B, I've read it. My trip is to the USA. I'm sure I read on EE not long ago that for your phone to work properly abroad, payg customers need to switch on roaming by sending a text message to 150. Has this policy been changed? Or was I mistaken?

PAYG is auto-enabled for roaming, once the SIM is used on EE's UK network first. Ensure this is done.

Never! That's only for contracts. Just make sure you use that SIM in UK to make a call or text before you leave for US.
