I'm going to New York in December, is it worth me paying £20 for extra data or is it better for me to get an E sim from somewhere online
USA Phone usage in New York, will my phone work?
Hi
That’s a great question! It really depends on how much data you’ll need while you’re in New York and what you’ll be using it for.
If you only need data for light browsing, maps, and messaging, the £20 add-on could be a convenient option since it works seamlessly with your current iD Mobile plan.
If you plan on streaming, uploading lots of photos, or using heavy apps, an eSIM from a local or international provider might give you more data at a better price.
Before deciding, check:
Your current roaming rates and allowances in the iD Mobile app or online account.
Whether your phone supports eSIM (most newer models do).
Compare eSIM deals online for U.S. travel – some providers offer unlimited data for short trips.
