What do I need to purchase in order to text and access google maps while in New York State.

HI @Seewa 

most the time, automatic would be sufficient, but just in case:

To change network carrier:

Settings. Scroll down. Choose Network & internet. Choose Mobile network.  Tap "Automatically select network switch" to off and then choose the carrier

To change network mode:

Settings, Choose Network & Internet, Choose Mobile network, Choose Preferred network type.

Thanks.  I figured that package, but wanted some feedback first.  have a moto g and I'm not sure if I know how to mannually connect or change the network mode.

HI @Seewa 

you need at text and data (for google map), so best to get the roaming bundle.  PM has the Bundle - US Roaming - Talk, Text and 3GB Data (15 days) for $30 

And a reminder, the roaming has a 15 days expiry and start when you done the addon purchase, so, buy right before your trip

When you are in US, connect to T-Mobile or AT&T (you might need to manually connect) and change the network mode to 4G or LTE for more stable connection.  of course, you need to turn on Roaming data on your phone
