us roaming data add-on

brianh — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 12:40:04 GMT

Starting with the $25 plan including unlimited international (US) texting, if one adds the $20 for US voice/text/data add-on for 10 days, does this raise the total data limit to 1GB for the plan plus 250MB for the add-on for a total of 1.75 GB for the 10 days? In other words, does the 250MB data add on to the data limit and is available for use in the US, or is the limit 250MB for use in the US only?

thanks.

The 250 MB is only for US roaming and does not get include with your regular plan data.

You'll only have 250mb of data for use while you're in USA.

People always think it gets added on to their plan's data but it's for US only. That's something PM needs to make more clear.

Personally, things are pretty clear to me. The regular plan features are for use when connected to the "home" network. The roaming add-ons are for extra features and services for use while roaming on a partner network. That said, some brands have so called "roam like home" features which allow customers to extend their normal home network usage while roaming on partner networks. This is not something Public Mobile offers.
