US roaming add-on with data

Sabie — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 10:25:44 GMT

Is it possible to purchase add-ons with your own money? I currently don't have enough reward points and would like to get a US roaming add-on with data. If so, how does one go around to doing that?

Thanks!

Of course you can. The simplest way is to log in to your account, press "Add-Ons", select the add-on you want and purchase the add-on by topping up your account. You can use the same payment method you use to pay for your plan.

Edit: These are mobile app instructions, for more detail see Phil_Adelphus's reply.

@Sabie Here is a link to the instructions. The add on would start immediately so don't do it far ahead of when you have to leave for the US.

If all you want is data (no calls or texts) and your phone is esim compatible, you can get much cheaper service with a travel esim provider such as Airalo or Ubigi. It can be fully setup and paid for before you leave, so all you have to do is turn the esim on when you get to the US.
