Using phone in USA

Is it free to use monthly allowance in USA?

Not quite free but reasonably priced if you set up the "Roam Abroad Pass".

The TL;DR is that the Roam Abroad Pass is a £10/mo add-on that allows you to use your minutes, texts and data allowance as if you were at home in the UK. You activate it by texting ROAMING PASS to 150.

@Suedunk : No. As it is not in EU, if you are on contract, you may use your usual UK allowances there with up to 50 GB data per billing month if you have more, when 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.
