Going to Florida and NY for 3 months later this year.  Anyone any tips on most economical way to use my mobile whilst there please?  I understand roaming charges/call charges can be extortionate - maybe best to buy a completely separate SIM card??  Any ideas welcome please.

Buy a local SIM card from a US based mobile service provider.

Maybe try your phone in flight mode with Wi-Fi ON and use WhatsApp or similar apps with free Wi-Fi networks.

That’s a great idea re the Whatsapp or other app calling.  I never thought of that,,,,duh.

Some US networks are turning off 2G & 3G, but all offer 4G services.
