US Roaming Add-on - Data Working But Not Text or Talk

karabeara — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 13:11:46 GMT

I purchased an US roaming add-on ($20 for 250mb, unlim text/talk for 10 days) yesterday; however, now that I am in the US, only the data part of the add-on seems to be working. I am basing this on that it says I have used ~3mb of the data add-on, but cannot send texts or make calls (I can receive texts and received calls). I have tried rebooting my device, switching between T-mobile and AT&T manually, and the lost/stolen phone trick, but nothing appears to work. I have verified that I purchase the correct add on and this is what it says on my add-ons page:

My Plan

This plan includes: -
- 4.5GB at 3G Speed
- Unlimited Canada-wide Talk
- Unlimited International Text

$40 per 30 Days

My Add-ons

US Roaming - 250 MB Data (10-day)

US Roaming - Unlimited Talk (10-day)

US Roaming - Unlimited Text (10-day)

Anyone have any other suggestions other than discussing with mods?

@karabeara

Several other members have had the same issue the last couple of days. Looks like a system issue. You need to contact moderator to fix the issue.

@karabeara here is the response I got from PM when I posed the question to them earlier today. I was hoping that they would have made a public announcement.

@Tiana_V, over the last couple of days there has been a large number of community members coming on here stating that they are not able to use the calling or texting features of the US roaming addons. The data seems to be working but does PM know what the issue could be with the calling and texting features on this Addon
Thanks for highlighting this issue! Our team has already identified it and is currently investigating. I will be providing updates as necessary.

Thanks to both of you for the quick reply. I suppose I will wait for it to resolve.

If the issue persists I would be looking for some sort of compensation like a credit for the add-on you purchased to go into your Available Funds for your next renewal

That makes sense to me, as I should not pay for a service that does not work. Thank you for pointing that out.
