Just to clarify: O2 Travel Inclusive, if available on your tariff or if you are a VM broadband and an O2 Contract customer,  the Volt Travel Inclusive benefit will cover you for your voice, data and text usage in-country and back to UK numbers.

 

O2 Travel is offered to any O2 Contract customer and costs £6 per day that you use it, as below and in the link shared by @MI5 above for international travel (for  Canada).

viz:

-  If you have the O2 Travel Inclusive Zone Bolt On or the O2 Travel Inclusive Zone Ultimate Bolt On, you can roam here at no extra cost.

Otherwise:

-  You can use the O2 Travel Bolt On, which gives you unlimited minutes, texts and data for just £6 a day. You can opt-in to O2 Travel by texting TRAVEL to 23336. You’ll only be charged for the days you use it.

@Helenkb3 

Use WhatsApp over wifi.

Turn off voicemail Guide: All you need to know about O2 Voicemail 901 

Keep mobile data off completely.

You may be able to use O2 Travel if available on your tariff https://www.o2.co.uk/international/using-your-phone-abroad

As all stated in the guide I posted 🙄

Where are you travelling to?
 Find

Your phone will need to support 4G Calling Abroad if you want to make calls in USA. See here for more information.

 

Pay MonthlyPay As You Go

 

How much will it cost to use my phone?

Except your advice, not the guide, steered towards O2 Travel, @MI5 - not O2 Travel Inclusive (standard, Ultimate or Volt).

O2 being free and easy with naming their Travel products again, confusingly. 🙄
