US Roaming Question
 
Hi guys

I am currently using Nexus 4 with Bell. I am planning to visit my friends in LA for 9 days. What is the best way to deal with the US Roaming charges ?

Please kindly advise when you have time.

Many thanks in advance.

Don't deal with roaming charges. Just get a T-mobile number. 10 dollars for the sim then 3 dollars a day for unlimited nationationwide(US) Data, calling, and texting.

You can also get a Roam mobility Sim card from London Drugs. Similar cheap roaming rates.

Walk into any T-mobile store on your first day, tell them what you want and for how long, they will set you up in minutes :)

T-Mobile > Roam, in my opinion, when we (50+ rs people) went down to Seattle for a party a couple months ago. The people who were using Roam mobility had no signal/crappy service while they were at the party, the ones using T-mobile had no problems what so ever.

keep in mind that your phone will have to be unlocked or at least you will need an unlocked cell

OP will be fine on a Nexus 4. AWS device.

Tmobile did not work inside WaMu for me,

For that very specific case I can't recommend either.

Roam Mobility sucked. Tmobile is better or use simple mobile. Simple mobile is $12.99 for the sim, $40 for a whole month of unlimited USA calls, international texts and data (works with BIS too).

My last trip to US with Roam. Had little issue with data, but for the most part quite good. I think Roam is a good choice for travel less that 15 days in the US. After 15 days you might be able to find better service with other providers.
