good morning all, does anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to use a mobile from the UK in the USA. to be clear what I mean is, is it easier/cheaper to buy a SIM in the UK to use in America whether that's a contract or PAYG or try to get something when In America. I should be going to Florida in august and we have a car so need data to use maps and maybe text/phone the UK. though I would imagine using data for WhatsApp or messenger would be best for calls. thanks for any help I appreciate it
When you insert the SIM, whatsapp may ask if you want to change numbers, so just click no, so whatsapp will still work with your existing number.
If you have a dual SIM phone, you can use both SIMS and then turn off data roaming on your main number so you can still receive normal texts.
Also you can download maps in google for offline use
Can you kindly provide the link which opens up in the browser as opposed to application as at present as I don't use the HUKD application. Thanks in advance.
florida is an awesome place but it’s got very expensive over the past couple of years.
Yeah if you're on EE they also offer a very reasonably price £10/month 'roam further' add on that allows your UK calls and data to be used in about 50 countries including the USA, you can just add it for 1 month at a time so pretty cheap for a 2 week trip to the states. Assuming you're an EE customer of course.
