    Hi ​@Puremagic,

     

    Thank you for your message.

     

    Kindly note with iD Mobile, the USA is not included in our free roaming zone, so using your plan abroad can be quite expensive. While we do offer a data roaming add-on, this only covers data and does not include calls or texts.

    Because of this, it is usually much cheaper and more convenient to get a dedicated USA travel eSIM or a local SIM once you arrive. This will help you avoid high roaming charges and give you better value for data, calls, and texts during your trip.

    Overall, we would recommend using a USA SIM or eSIM for your visit to keep costs down and ensure a smoother experience.

     

    Thanks.
