USA mobile data use

bekkib1

Hello! I'm off to America tomorrow for a short holiday, I'll need to use my mobile data out there for maps and ordering Ubers etc! Does anyone know how much it costs to use data out in America? I've all ready seen there isn't a goody bag which includes international roaming for America. Any help would be great!

Good Evening @bekkib1

Take a look at this very informative pricing guide https://giffgaff.com/internationa

Roaming prices for USA

Data 20p per MB

Calls & voicemail (charged in per second increments after first 30 seconds) £1 per minute

Receiving calls (charged in per minute increments) £1 per minute

Sending texts 30p per text

Receiving texts Free

Picture messages (MMS) to a UK/EU mobile 16p per MMS

Picture messages (MMS) to any other mobile 24p per MMS

You'd be better buying a local sim and/or using free wifi where possible.

@bekkib1 Hi welcome to giffgaff and the community

Not with a goodybag as USA isn't in the EU

You will need airtime credit

•Here is a price guide ⬇️

Roaming Charges

• I would recommended you try to use free WiFi as this would be cheaper than using mobile data

I hope this helps

If using google maps it is possible to download an area for offline use therefore saving on data usage.
