Using mobile phone in USA
Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered before, can I use my BT mobile in Florida without a huge bill? I've tried looking it up but not come out with an accurate answer, we're going as a party of 6 so will need to be able to contact each other whilst we're there. Any advice will be great, thank you 😊 |

WhatsApp using Park/hotel WiFi? Free to use. Invaluable to us last August.

That's what I was going to suggest, turn off mobile data. Someone in our group had his phone with the 3 network which is free to use wherever you use it.
When he got home he got a text saying if he had been with a different network his bill for that month would have been over Ł4000 Rob |

We always turn off mobile and roaming, and use the free wifi in the parks and the hotels. (Always had good signal)
There are plenty of places with free wifi. James |

If you are not with three you can get a pre loaded sim from them for Ł20 to use for 4 weeks, feel at home all you can eat data( capped at 12gb) unlimited texts and minutes, although the mins only apply if you are phoning a uk phone not if your phoning say Disney etc.
I used to buy the sim for my USA hols. But a few weeks ago I decided to ditch Vodafone and go with three via the Martin Lewis website I’ve now got the feel at home sim for the price of Ł12 a month. Plus cash back through quidco. Last week after returning from Florida a text from three said that my bill would of been Ł2700 if I had been on a different network!

Check if your phone company does world traveller. It costs me Ł5 per day to use sane mins. Texts. Data as in uk.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think we'll get a 3 sim but use wifi where possible. With BT you can have an add-on but can't use your data so works out very expensive.

We are both on the ‘3’ network. After our last trip I received a text saying I’d saved Ł3000 on the feel at home contract.
