The USA isn’t included as a roaming destination, so you won’t get to use any of your plans included allowances while travelling there. You need to purchase a Roam Beyond add-on.

Roam Beyond add-ons.

You can now buy a data-only add-on to stay connected while you're in United States (USA). Use your data to browse, stream, and keep in touch with friends and family at all times. To get an add-on, simply log in to the iD Mobile app or my.idmobile.co.uk.

Data Duration Price
2 GB 1 day £5
10 GB 5 days £20
20 GB 10 days £35

Tip: To avoid out-of-plan charges when you land, it's best to purchase your Roam Beyond add-on while you're still in the UK. Alternatively, once you reach your destination, keep mobile data turned off until you can connect to Wi-Fi and buy an add-on.
