This will work, however it is not part of the inclusive roaming so I believe the charge is £5 per day for usage.

You may be better off with a three pay as you go sim as they are cheaper

The best way is to get a local sim whilst there or take a Three UK PAYG sim with you.
O2 will charge you £4.99 a day for use on o2 travel which is expensive if you just want to send the odd text.

You may also need to unlock your phone to use a different sim.

Hello @Anonymous,

Please let us know how it went so we can learn!!! You can find all the information about Using your phone abroad (PAYG) and even How to prevent accidental roaming here.

 

And you should check the page: How much does it cost to use my phone abroad? to know as a "Pay As You Go customers", how much you will be charged when calling or texting from the USA. We hope it helps! 

 

We hope to see you around soon Wave Enjoy the trip!
