Traveling to USA - £10 Subscription Pack HELP

SpongeScientist — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 13:20:32 GMT

I am traveling to USA next week and have a ‘£10 Subscription Pack’.

I have attempted to view roaming charges online and am unsure if this is considered a ‘Monthly Plan’ or ‘Pay as you go’ plan?

I would like to discern how much it would cost me to access my monthly data allowance for 7-days while in the USA.

Thank you!

Hi @SpongeScientist,

Welcome to the EE Community

A subscription pack is a pay as you go plan, for the USA there is no add-on which will allow you to use the subscription pack whilst there.

If you do want to use your phone whilst there, you would pay £1.20 a min for incoming or outgoing calls, 60p to send a text. So you do need credit available to make a call or text. You can find the full info entering the details here Roaming Costs | Help | EE

When it comes to data, when you land you will receive a landing text with a link to buy available add-ons. You can find the information on the available add-ons on page 14 of the non standard price guide here Pay As You Go Price Plans Terms and Conditions | Help | EE

You're on PAYG. Your pack is not valid for USA. You will need to pay for calls & texts at the standard per-unit roaming rates as stated by @Alex_H from your PAYG credit balance. You'll be invited to buy 1 of the following data add-ons upon arrival:

Huge thank you to @Alex_H & @XRaySpeX for the clarification!

I’m glad I researched this before landing in LA and being faced with paying £65.32 for 0.9GB.

I understand why eSims dominate the market when it comes to international roaming. Thanks again for the warning!
