Using phone in Florida

scholes

Hi I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this apologies if not. I have an unlocked samsung galaxy note and i will be travelling to florida for 2 weeks. I will need to use my phone for a couple of calls over there both local numbers and back home and receive a few emails. I am on tesco mobile which is great but roaming has to be switched on for internet here.

I obviously will turn this off before i go , does anyone have any ideas on pay as you go e.tc. tesco is very expensive to make a call back home to ireland and to receive calls e.t.c.
Should i buy pay as you go card here or does anyone recommend getting one in the states.

Thanks in advance

depends on the signal but any time I go to the states, Chicago, I have a tmobile card. 50 dollars gets me unlimited mins, texts and 500mb of data. it depends though on how good the service is where you are going. surely you would have free wifi where you are staying?

Thanks a mill , ill look into that yep should have free wi fi but may have to ring irish mobiles from time to time and i think tesco is 1.99 a minute but could be wrong
