ThreeUK prepaid pre-loaded SIM's should be activated in the UK before setting-off for the US.
If you want to avoid expensive roaming charges, [getting a prepaid SIM](androidcentral.com/bes…sts) is the way to go.
If you have a handset that has eSIM capability then check out [Airalo](airalo.com/uni…m), [Maya.net](maya.net/pla…usa) and [HolaFly](esim.holafly.com/esi…sa/)
For more information on eSIM see [The Traveler’s Guide to eSIMs](thenextweb.com/new…ims)
[eSIMradar 🇺🇸 ](esimradar.com/esi…sa/)
To check if your phone supports eSIM see the list [here](esim.holafly.com/how…es/)
Also beware that if you turn on mobile data to make a WhatsApp call, your phone will take that opportunity to use whatever data it needs to perform queued routine tasks in the background not restricted in settings to ‘Wi-Fi only’ so make sure data roaming/mobile data is switched **OFF**.
And of course there’s free Wi-Fi where available which in the US is almost everywhere.
Enjoy your visit! 🇺🇸"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51010683","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Phataphobic"},"datePublished":"2023-09-18T15:02:14.000Z","text":"Depends on what you want it for.

I'm in US now on EE roaming and it's been pretty decent, 4G connection in many rural areas (from Boston up to New England).
