Travel to USA

[Anonymous]

I'm travelling to the USA next month and realised that O2 charge crazy prices for data roaming. 

My phone is locked (and i can't get it unlocked as its a business contract).

Does anyone know if any of the US networks will work on my O2 locked UK iPhone 6 plus?

Or any other options!

But the phone is locked to O2....?

I'm sure that a one-off investment into a second handset would pay-off in no time considering what would the roaming charges be with O2. Even someone who doesn't want to do a lot of research, could go into a Three Store and get...say Motorola G 3rd Gen for £139.99 or Motorola G (previous gen.) for £129.99. Very decent smartphones for the price, and, as far as I'm aware, Three sells their phones unlocked.

Then there is a Sony Xperia E4 which retails for under £100. I'm sure that the roaming bill from O2 would be a lot higher than that

Yes it was suggested earlier in the thread that a Three sim with a cheap unlocked phone would be a good choice. Makes sense so hopefully the OP will have some better idea now of his best option.

Or even, as was also suggested earlier, buy a cheap unlocked phone and use a local US sim....

Lots of options available
