Making plans for the USA! (part 10!)

It's that time again - where a random Dane tells you all about his plans for his upcoming USA trip. This episode is all about being online in the US.

I deleted the previous blog, because I have come across some information that made the blog obsolete! Basically, I was talking about data plans in the USA, and how I had to buy a new sim card once I land in the USA. As it turns out, my phone provider offers something called World, which gives me 80 gigs of data at home, and 25 gigs of data in the USA.

How much is 25 gigs of data, I hear you ask? Well.. It's 277 hours of social media usage, which is what I am going to use it for. I need to update my family and my friends, so 25 gigs of data is plenty. I probably won't have time to watch YouTube videos. But just as a precaution, I have asked my phone provider if I will have the full 105 GB of data, or just the 25 GB.. There's free WiFi everywhere in the US, but I would prefer to not use that. Safety, and everything.. I could get a VPN, though..

In any case, me switching to World will solve the biggest hurdle. That also means, that all my research into sim cards in the USA has been for nothing.. Well.. If I one day decide to take a longer holiday there, then it might be the best option, but for one week? Yeah, my World subscription is enough.

The next step is to buy some small kitchen gadgets, note the price on them and then pack! 17 days until I start that process..

I have forgotten how to pack a suitcase properly.. Send help..

Edit: My phone provider confirmed that the 25 gigs is what I have available, and not the full 105 gigs. Still, 25 gigs is enough, for sure

2r gigs is good for about 20 hours of movie or TV watching. :)
A lot of people in the US have tv's that provide free YouTube, so if you are staying with someone, they could have free streaming services. Most hotels offer many free streaming services too.

A cheap burner phone might be a wise investment to talk to people in the US to save data from being used on your phone.
20 hours is more than enough.

If I run out if data, I'm just gonna use the WiFi available :)
