Success Going To The US

[kcorscadden]

On the $34 5G 50GB CAN/US plan and went to the US for the first time since joining PM and it worked great.

Didn't have a connection for about the first 3 miles into the US from the border, and then it connected to AT&T and didn't have any issues once it connected.

So it works lol

@hairbag1  thanks, I looked at the list not to long ago.  We both have iPhones.  Mine  is newer and definitely on the list.  I was not sure when it says iPhone 8 and up if that included the SE 2020 for him but i suspect it is okay as he gets the new iOS updates.  I think we also tested it to see that  it was not dropping to 3G on phone calls.

You should be good, then. I also have the iPhone SE 2020 and it is volte enabled.

@Jedi1 

for best success, make sure your cell is on PM's volte whitelist, before going to US.

Thanks for posting.  I switched my son and myself to this plan.  Have not been to the US in a while as our mother son trip was cancelled in 2020.  Thinking of taking him to this summer.

I switched to this plan to avoid buying a US Sim from Mint Mobile every time.  My question is the hot spot available on this plan?  thanks   we had it with Mint Mobile.

@hTideGnow Oh don't get me started on US shopping lol.... Wife and kid spent $100 at a dollar store today.... $100 !!!!!!!!  We don't even spend that much at Dollarama 😛

[kcorscadden]

@Handy1  Yup, now that the kid is old enough, we will probably go a tad deeper into NY state.... probably Syracuse, NY

[hTideGnow]

[Handy1]

Sweet @kcorscadden  so I’m sure you will be back again that’s not to far out of the way at all .

@Chalupa_Batman **bleep** straight lol

[kcorscadden]

@Handy1 We live in Kingston, Ontario, so we are about 30-40 mins from the 1000 Island border crossing.  It's about 1.5 hrs one way from Kingston to Watertown assuming there is no delays at the border.

@hTideGnow I can't say if voice works as we didn't make any calls, but data and texting works

[hTideGnow]

hi @kcorscadden so voice was working on At&T?? if so, that mean VoLTE works even the phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist

[Handy1]

This is amazing to hear! With these plans being added it is getting easier for me to share with my friends that Public Mobile is the way to go!
