Is the $15.00 US Roaming a per day charge or a single $15.00 fee for the entire 15 days?

@cmerdler $15 for 15 days and it starts soon as it purchased so be sure to only purchase when you ready to head off for your trip

@cmerdler - those addons you have listed above (the xmas freebies) are for use while only in Canada.

Yes, with the appropriate Roaming addon you can text Canadian and USA numbers whilst in the USA.

So the $15 add on lets me text CAD and US numbers, and talk to US numbers only?

Re: US Roaming

Handy1 — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 15:40:49 GMT

@cmerdler Yes that’s correct

edit @HALIMACS is correct I meant the US roaming add ons are only for when you in the US

@cmerdler

The $15 US add on allows you to text and call numbers in the USA and Canada, while you are in the US.

And while $15 may appear too good to be true, although the data and texting component is OK, you might find calling problematic, depending on where you are, and whether your device can manually connect to the 2G Network given the shut down of the 3G Network in the US.

HI @cmerdler the $15 add on let you talk and text to BOTH Canada and US numbers

but Talk is using an older T-Mobile 2G network and it might not work great. Text would be good as it uses the LTE network. If talk is important, you might wand to use VoIP app instead. Download something like TextNow and you can use the app to call on Wifi or Mobile data (either roaming data or buy local data prepaid sim card)
