Surfing the Web Internationally

If I am from Canada, and go to the states, I understand I do not get charged for texts, but would there be an upcharge for surfing the web?

Public Mobile is a prepaid service, you will not get charged anything extra because you will not have access to the web without first purchasing the add-on.

You will only get incoming texts

Otherwise as mentioned no service unless you buy the USA add-ons

@karias16, any usage while in the US will require the purchase of an add-on. Prepaid format requires features be purchased before they are available for use. You don't pay after using a feature.

Is that true @mimmo that you will only receive incoming texts but can't send them when in the US? First I've heard of that...
