Uber from non wifi spots

Afternoon

If using uber or lyft, what do you do when you are at a location without wifi?
do you turn on data? I don't have free roaming data so am worried I will come home to a horrendous holiday that was outside of a very tight budget?
Thank you

Like where ? WiFi drops just beyond the gate coming out of most theme parks so you order it there.
Can’t think of anywhere that didn’t have it, Walmart again it dropped as you walked outside.
If it drops walk 3 steps backwards and it’s there.
Turn off your mobile data and roaming in phone settings before you go.

The only place we had a problem was Premium Outlets which we resolved by logging into the store nearest the exit.

Haven't been for a couple of years but I've also had issues finding WiFi in some places. That's my main concern with relying on uber/lyft 😐
Maybe it's improved?

Most mobile networks will let you buy a "bolt on" for roaming. That is reasonable. Maybe speak to your network before you go and get one just to be Safe.

Ive never been anywhere in and around Orlando where I've needed WiFi and not been able to find a free one to log on though

I had a lot of trouble trying to find WiFi in 2019 around the outlets, I had to walk over to a restaurant near by to pick up there WiFi in the end, and another time I had to use a taxi instead 😀

We had an issue in one restaurant, asked our server and she gave us the codes for the private wifi connection. Only happened once on our trip.

Just get a data plan bundle or a pay and go USA sim.

With all these free WiFi points, it does poses a risk, most are insecure and often in public places you will find spoof hotspots. Just ensure you device is protected, something like surfshark etc..
