Switching to EE

[Runner3432]

I'm currently with o2 but having moved home recently, have found reception is very poor and likely to switch provider.

One benefit with my o2 package is the roaming included for USA and EU.  Currently pay £30 / month for 150GB data.

I go to USA 4-5 times a year for around 5 days for each trip.  Looking at EE, I'd need to buy the USA 7 day pass @ £25 for each trip - does that sound correct?

@Runner3432  does your phone support WiFi calling and do you have fixed line broadband?

Currently have iPhone 13 so fairly certain my device does support WiFi calling.

And yes, I have a fixed line broadband with EE

About so! If you are on contract, you may use your usual UK allowances outside the EU with up to 50 GB data per billing month if you have more, when you buy the Zone 1 Pass for £5 / day or £25 / week or already have it as an Inclusive Extra or you have an EE Full Works or 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/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/usa.

@Runner3432   It would be worth seeing how you get on with WiFi calling before jumping ship.

On a personal note after being left stranded in South America by EE 5 years ago, it is not an issue I have had with O2. My travelling companion at the time was on O2 so relied on their phone for everything on the trip.
