+24Hey there
That’s correct, they’re only for data.
Calls and texts would be charged as out of contract charges. Please see below:

Thanks,

Mzone thank,yoi, if I bit a,travel Sim, I guess I,will,thrn pay similar charges to oit of cintract prices,with ID, to call/text back to uk , as,I do,not need to make,class in,usa,to usa. I guess best thing would be to use data only messages,in what's app etc as, its only for a wek?
I would’ve actually just recommend buying an eSIM from a provider, Over there like Tello or something! It will be a lot cheaper
Personally, I use EscapeSIM, A 20 GB Sim card with EscapeSIM will be £15 after currency conversion
Ultimately it’s up to you, but it will probably work out a lot cheaper than buying a add-on from ID Mobile
to put that price into context for you if you would use 10 GB of data while roaming in the USA on ID Mobile it would cost you £30, as it is 30p per megabyte
