I’m due to renew contract but now O2 no longer do a roaming package in the USA free with a large data package you must have a monthly bolt on and pay an additional daily fee.
I’m confused who to get my new contract with now.

O2 do free inclusive world roaming Inc USA on all their larger data packages.

I have 100Gb 5G service with them which includes USA roaming. ( £15 a month )

The more people using a network the worse its going to be, that's probably why it drops to 3G within the parks, the sheer amount of people will drive your signal down.

Wow how have I kept missing these packages, because that’s exactly what I was looking for and couldn’t find them anywhere! I’ll look again tomorrow.
Checked again today and still can’t find that option perhaps because all I’m being offered is the refresh contracts.

I have a 3 monthly business contract with unlimited data (limited while roaming though), so I'm not so concerned about data. It seems like 3 is the preferred option around here.
Although I'm now wondering whether I'd actually make any calls locally... Things like restaurants bookings I'd tend to do online.

Yes, you get unlimited US calls with the T-mobile eSIM as well, you get a proper American phone number. I immediately added it to MDE for text notifications and have used it here states side a few times to make a few phone calls -needed to ring SeaWorld about tickets and Target about an online order, and it was quite handy to be able to do that from my US number!

Normally we don't bother with having to be connected all the time so only use wifi but for this trip we are using a free sim we got when we bought out park tickets from ATD, we are using the 5 free days only so we had data to do Rise and it gives us unlimited calls to both mobiles, domestic and international, texts and unlimited data on 4gLTE. Even if we wanted it for the whole 14 days it would have been less than $44, just over $3 a day.
