All phones bought from O2 should be ready to roam but if bought elsewhere you'll eed to get roaming enabled.

Cost will vary depending on which bolt on, if any, you have and data on the O2 travel bolt on is capped at 0.5mbps.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

You could try:
1 - Getting your phone unlocked to use other providers SIMs (if yours is not a recent phone)
2 - Getting a 3 or Vodafone UK SIM (they tend to get a reasonable speed in the US), or
3 - Get a USA SIM when you get out there
