My boyfriend is going away on holiday to florida for 2 weeks, I live in the UK and I was just wondering the easiest and cheapest way to do this..

We both have bbm, does this charge extra from uk to america? Hes on pay as you go, but has BIS data, so I was just wondering would this cost him or me anything extra?

Also how much does it cost to send and receive a text?

Or if both had internet on phone would if cost to have the internet on in america and to send an email to me back in the UK?

We're both on Orange, if that helps

Thanks for any comments :)

    I had this problem when I went abroad..

    Basically; if you can, get him to connect to Wi-Fi, it may cost him, depending on the hotel, it cost me around 15 pounds for a week of wifi all over the hotel. That way, you can use BBM for free, and it won't cost you a penny either.

    Or if he can't get wifi; here's the prices to send and receive from USA to UK :) http://www.orange.co.uk/roaming/usa/

    Whats up Ben, BBM will not be free to make use of when you're in the USA except you are linked to Wi-Fi. That is seeing that you need to have an internet connection to make use of it and connecting to a 3G network overseas will rate greater than at dwelling due to the fact you're using information from a overseas network. The excellent manner to use BBM even as you're away is to discover a local Wi-Fi connection, both in your resort or even a restaurant for example, as this fashion you will not expend any credit score. Which you could continuously check knowledge roaming expenditures with T-cell before you go so in the event you do wish to use a 3G connection, you'll understand how a lot it'll cost before you jet off. Hope this helps :) Louise
