Is there something particularly good about the three sims?
There is, for example, a T-mobile sim for £22 on Amazon that gives unlimited data for 10 days in the USA. Would a three sim be better/cheaper? |

I was planning to just use whats app for messaging and calls with wifi, and data on my plan if wifi is limited. We're staying on site and not expecting to make many calls. Would this work?

I’d like to be able to leave our data on so we can send and receive what’s app. I am too nervous to do that unless I know it won’t cost me as I know apps/phones use data in the background and i am scared of unknown charges. So for me it has to be data off so phone only works on WiFi or I get a prepaid bundle of data.

I have set limit on data so can't go over my 'free' monthly bundle. So hopefully won't get any nasty surprises, and also hopefully WiFi will be good enough if we need occasional call to one another in park to meet up if we separate for different rides.

I actually work for Three and they're so good for travelling, even just the PAYG sims are cheap enough especially if you don't use much data. I'd always just say go into a Three store to ask about anything as the staff are usually clued up and if you've got any problems they're more than willing to help.

We are both with EE and wanted to add the US inclusive bundle on to our plans for the month that includes our holiday. I contacted them to add it for £10 like people here had done. I got told over the phone at 3 different customer service numbers and in 3 different shops that wasn’t actually an option. Apparently, it would be £25 per phone and had to be added for a minimum of 6 months! I tried telling them I knew it could be done for the £10 single month option but got repeatedly shot down.
We’ve actually ended up moving networks in part due to this. Here’s hoping I have no issues with O2.

I haven’t read the replies yet, but currently we have an international travel plan with our O2 package which has worked a treat on our last 3 trips to Canada and the US. Prior to that depending on the days of our trip we did the O2 daily travel plan (I can’t remember what it’s called) which cost us £4.99 per day. It didn’t work out too badly as there were many days we didn’t use it because we were attached to WiFi. For your length of trip I would go with 3 and their ‘feel at home 20’ or whatever that plan is called now. The drawback is you can’t use it to call or text US numbers, only UK, so I don’t know how that works with things like Uber etc. I last used it in FL in 2017 and had no issues with signal or data.
