Unfortunately @Ysolitt, America is not an inclusive roaming destination. 

You can’t use your UK plan allowances in America, like you can in an EU inclusive roaming destination.

Roaming mobile data from iD Mobile costs £0.30/MB in the US, so 154MB costs £46.20.

Hi there @Ysolitt, thank you for reaching out.

 

As kindly advised by @andewhite, roaming in USA does cost out of contract charges for usage of calls, texts and data. The costs can be found below:
