Can I use my phone in the USA without roaming charges?

[USA123]

Hi, I am from the UK.  I am in the USA on holiday.   Can I use my phone here without roaming charges?  I am an O2 Virgin customer.  I have a Virgin sim card which came as part of my Virgin broadband package but was migrated to O2 by Virgin some months ago.  I am on a pay monthly contract.  Before I left the UK I asked the same question at my local O2 shop and was told that I could use my phone in the USA with no extra charges, but the welcome txt message I got at the airport had a list of very expensive charges.  Consequently, to avoid a nasty bill, I am just using wi fi for now.  Please let me know the correct position.  Bye, Jacqueline

If you are a Virginmedia customer and a O2 customer you should have Volt added to your account

This gives you O2 Travel Inclusive and will mean free roaming in the US

Check My O2 for the bolt on
