US roaming data usage in Canada?

yeungsa5 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:44:42 GMT

Can US roaming data be used in Canada? I just maxed out my 3 month's data plan and my billing cycle renews in about 2 weeks. Next weekend, I will be going to the states for a few days. If I purchase a 10 day US roaming data add-on, can it be used when in Canada? Or must I purchase a separate add-on for Canada data, and another add-on for US data?

Hi @yeungsa5

Sorry to say, but I believe you'll have to purchase two separate adds-on...

Here's are available data add-on option

Also if you on lower data plan just to update you pm offering a promo plan 165 dollars 12gb unlimited province wide with global texting for 90 days and if you do autopay you will save another 6 dollars if you have have less data then this promo plan you can setup a plan change with future date so when renewal come plan will change automatically or you can change now you will lose your left over days and you have to make a payment right away but good part you will have a new cycle of 12gb data ONLY IF YOU HAVE A LESS DATA PLAN LIKE 1 OR 2 GB FOR 30 DAYS ONE

THANKS

@yeungsa5 the above responses are correct. There is a slight possibility but it's quite unlikely to be helpful. If you are located physically very close to the US border and close enough to an AT&T or T-Mobile tower, you could go into your network settings and try taking your phone off automatic network selection and manually choose AT&T or T-Mobile. If you can do that and your US Roaming data add-on hasn't expired, you could probably force your phone to use the roaming data. However, the likelihood that you will mostly/always be located close enough to a US tower to make this work for you in any practical way, I'm guessing, is very low.
