Hey there ​@Daved2010, the roaming add-ons are for data only.

 

Calls and texts will incur out of contract charges found here:

Hi, the package roaming charge for the US is clear, currently £5 per day. Does this charge include the cost for making and receiving  calls, or are those charges on top of the daily £5 charge. If so it's a no brainer to ho eSIM. I am happy to pay the 5 per day premium if I can use my existing number to recieve calls. Please clarify when you can.
