Pay & Go Data Usage USA

[Anonymous]

I'm sure the answer is on here somewhere but I can't find it!!! I'm heading to USA for 5 days later this month & was wondering if there was a data bolt on I can get? I don't plan on using much much but I'm horrified at the £6 for 1mb that I keep seeing, grateful for any help, thanks

If you are wanting to call or text people in the UK while you are in the USA there are numerous free apps that you can use (depending on your phone), such as whatsapp, bbm and viber.

The people you're contacting must have these apps too.

Oh yes sorry I forgot to mention that.

You need to tell your family and friends to download one of those apps otherwise you won't be able to talk to them while you're away and that would make you sad (emotional blackmail usually works lol)
