Pay as you go - data roaming in USA and Japan

joahoa — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:17:48 GMT

I am on the pay as you go subscription pack. I will be traveling to the US and Japan and would like to use data there.

How do I do this? (it's really NOT clear, if you could help me that would be great)

Thank you.

You can't use your pack there. On arrival you'll receive a text offering you data add-ons to buy. You'll pay for any calls & texts out of your PAYG credit. So if you expect to make any, top-up well well before you go.

Hi @joahoa

Welcome to the Community.

Just adding to the advice above from @XRaySpeX, visit our Roaming Costs help page to see the standard rates for calls and texts, if you also intend to use these on your travels.
