Data roaming off or on while on o2 Travel?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm in the States at the moment.  I am on O2 Travel for £4.99 per day.  However, I'm not clear whether I should have my data roaming off or on.  I was always under the impression that it should be kept off to avoid massive charges.  But does being on O2 Travel avoid this?  At the moment I'm not receiving emails unless I'm on wifi and I can't send emails whether or not I'm on wifi.  I'm using a Samsung Galaxy mini 3.  Any help on both these things would be gratefully received.

You need roaming on to get data.
Your costs are capped at the daily charge by the travel bolt on.

If you are on O2 Travel, you will be charged £4.99 on any day you so much as send a text message or make/receive a phone call.
