US Roaming - Talk Text (10-day)

mschmutz — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 14:14:32 GMT

Is the US Roaming - Talk Text (10-day) plan still a good option for traveling to the US. Will we connect to their 4G towers or only the 3G towers that are now decommissioned?

I also have a sim card with Koodo but their Easy Roam plans are $12 a day

You would need to manually connect to T-Mobile. Talk is the primary problem. Text and data should theoretically work fine. And then last night someone posted some interesting comments that maybe we can use Verizon. I highly doubt it but they seemed to be saying that an agent told them that.

If you need reliable service, I would go with Koodo.

Public mobile data should be working fine, since it will use LTE network. However, talk will rely on the T mobile 2G network, which is unreliable depending on where you are visiting and the particular area.

Lots of nightmare stories about the PM roaming and lots of ppl clamouring on here after their trip about their horrible experience and demanding a refund - so caveat emptor and then some

Which area of US are you going to ?

My only recent experience is using the add-on whilst traveling in Washington state.

I would not rely on this add-on as many report issues in different parts of USA.
