The Land of the Free... Roaming Charges?
The good news: If you're on a swanky EE Max plan or have the magical Roam Abroad Pass, you can use your phone in the US of A pretty much as you do at home. Calls, texts, and data – all your usual allowances come along for the ride. High five!
The not-so-fantastic news: Unless you're part of the aforementioned elite squad, roaming charges can leave your wallet feeling lighter than a Florida tourist after a buffet breakfast. Yikes!
But fear not! There are options...
Operation: Save Those Pennies (and Dimes)!
Embrace the Wi-Fi: Most hotels, restaurants, and cafes offer free Wi-Fi. So park yourself by the pool, sip a margarita, and Instagram your #FloridaFeels without a care.
Consider a Roaming Add-on: EE offers a variety of roaming add-ons that can give you a data or call allowance for your trip. Do the math! See if it's cheaper than getting stung with surprise roaming charges.
Go Local: If you're staying for a while, consider picking up a local SIM card. This can be a super cost-effective way to stay connected. Just make sure your phone is unlocked!
Remember: Always check with EE before you go to see what the latest roaming rates are. Knowledge is power, my friend!
