I am off to the USA for two weeks shortly, I have an ID mobile pay monthly sim only deal but it does not include the USA in its roaming countries, what are my best options.

Hey there Bellamy, thank you for reaching out to us.

 

For roaming in the USA, all charges can be found below for data, calls and texts:

As @JoeKing has kindly responded, we don’t offer free roaming for countries outside of our inclusive EU roaming countries below:

To be able to roam in USA, please ensure you increase your spending cap via the ID Mobile app/website, one to allow for roaming to work, but also bare in mind to set it to an amount that you want to limit your spending at. Please also ensure you enable roaming via the ID Mobile app/website and also via your phone’s own settings.

 

Kind regards,

Tyler

As it stands IDMobile doesn't have a roaming package or agreement for the USA. 

Your best bet is to look at PAYGO sims on other UK network that best suits your needs. 

The likes of Lycamobile comes to mind in the UK or doing some research about local sims in the USA before you travel out.

Hey there @Katie Clapham, if you want to ensure you don’t spend anything in USA, you’ll need to set up your bill-cap to £0.00 via the iD Mobile app/website.
