Is there an Addon or deal i can purchase temporarily for unlimited texts to USA from UK?

My girlfriend is in florida and currently without power due to the hurricane and i cannot afford to keep texting at the rate i am as i am in UK. Is there an add on or something that i can temporarily get to have unlimited texts? not calls just texts, she has no wifi or anything so its only texts we can do. wether its per day or per week i dont mind, please help i'm really desperate.

No.

International calls & texts to overseas nos. from UK can be rather expensive but EE has a free add-on that anyone, on PAYG or contract, can apply for to give these calls & texts at a fraction of the standard rates. See The Free CALL ABROAD Add-on for Cheap Calls/Texts from UK .

You're not roaming when you're in UK.

It wont let me, i just get "Were sorry but the calling abroad add on could not be added. no money has been taken. please try again later", this isnt free?

Hi @Alzeido.

 

I'm sorry to hear this, I hope she's ok.

 

That add-on is free, so that's an odd error message to get.

 

I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team so they can look into the best options for you.
