Want to confirm my understanding.

Hello all, I wanted to confirm my understanding from what I've read.  In June, we are going to the USA, and I've looked at the Roaming charges etc., and I could purchase a plan for £25 for 7 days.  This is the bit I wanted to confirm/get confirmation on, that I get to use my UK data allowance (as I would in the UK), I can call the UK and receive calls from the UK - call numbers in the US and receive calls from within the US, all included within my plan and the extra £25 roaming plan.  Also, I can text UK numbers and receive texts from UK texts.

I did wonder if all that also would include WhatsApp usage?

If all that is included with my UK plan and the £25 roaming plan, I'm quite impressed - which is why I want to double check that I've understood it all correctly. 

Thank you in advance

WhatsApp is an internet app, in the same way as BBC News, Sky Sports, YouTube and any other.

The £25/week roaming pass enables use of your UK allowances in eligible countries. Calls & texts within that country & back to the UK will be inclusive, as will incoming calls.

You will have access to your UK data allowances subject to a 50Gb/month FUP. Receiving texts is free globally, regardless of add-on. Remember to text ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK, to ensure the free roaming facility is enabled on your SIM. This unlocks access to foreign networks and thus coverage abroad.

Thank you.  It's been a while since I've been abroad, and I've never been to the US before, so am truly impressed with the £25 add on.
