EE Roam Further/Roam Abroad Pass

I used their 'roam further' £10 a month add on option when in the USA and it worked pretty seemlessy. I set up just before I left the UK (I think I just texted them 'Roam further' to 150 or something like that. My UK allowances were then allowed to work when roaming in the US. Phone calls, texts and data just worked like normal, with the same restrictions (eg my data limit still applied as if in the UK). I could make and receive UK calls for free but calling a USA number was chargeable, just as if I was in the UK.
When I got back I canceled the add on and it cost me £10 for full USA roaming which I thought was pretty decent value.

If in european countries they don't charge for roaming until Jan 2022

Regarding data: Good to know:
If your plan comes with more than 50GB of data per month, a fair use policy of 50GB will apply when roaming abroad.

No problem, the only slight issue I had was that in the US a lot of towns and cities are switching off 3G and replacing with 4G and 5G and my phone didn't cope too well, mostly giving 2G Edge data rates (slow) but I did get some 3G and 4G in Boston and surrounding areas. My phone was a Moto X Play (pretty out dated) - I now have a Pixel 4a which should cover more bands when I next go.
