Hello
I am travelling to the USA next month and am trying to find out how much data will cost on my PAYG EE mobile. All I can find for data is that I must purchase a pack when I arrive but there is no price given. If it's going to be cheaper to use a local sim then I'd like to know that before landing so I can be prepared on advance and get straight online.
Thank you

Packs are no use outside the EU.
Outside the EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/usa > PAYG.
Make sure you have already used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.

Sorry, I said "pack" when I meant "add-on" as stated on the page you linked to and which I've seen before.
My issue is that it doesn't give the price. Just says "Buy data add-on when you land".
Thank you for your help though.
