Roaming to the US for work for 1 week

Hello,

I'm off to the US in a couple of weeks with work for 1 week total, and getting a bit confused with the roaming options from EE.

I'm on an EE plan called 'Essentials SIM 25GB £21' and keep seeing the roaming pass for £25, but thats for a full month and I'd only need a week.

Any ideas on if there's a cheaper way for a week?

Thanks,

Sam

@scrossland : Just pay the standard roaming rates (see https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/usa) for calls & texts & buy data add-ons if you need data. You'll need to do the maths as to whether it's cheaper than the Roam Abroad Pass @ £25 per billing month. Bear in mind that if your billing date falls within your trip you'll be charged pro-rata for the 1st part billing month + £25 for the following billing month.

Although not promoted as prominently as the roaming pass, there are also voice & text bundles that may suit..

As mentioned already, you'll need to do the maths on how much you expect to be using your phone, and how much the "unlimited" convenience would be worth the cost.
