You can download free TextNow app for free calls texts to & from most any Cdn or US number. TextNow works using wifi and seems like wifi is everywhere now. Sometimes you just need to ask for their password.

If you plan on being there for awhile...might be cheaper to get a local sim and a US cheap plan.

Otherwise the 10 Day US talk/text/data options are the only options PM offers. They will work for 240 hours from the time you purchase ...so plan ahead.

@JCP7898 - the above Roaming Addons listed (which are also found on your self serve account) : https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca=RedirectToAddOnPage) can only be used if you have any ACTIVE Public Mobile plan.

If you are going for more than a week to a week and a half I would definitely recommend the suggested alternatives to the add ons. If you are going for less than that then an add on may get you what you want. I would make sure you look above at some of the break in price you would get if you were on the points system
