Boston USA roaming

Hello

I'm going to Boston for 5 days and I've been reading posts about US roaming. It says: to manually select T-Mobile as the preferred network for the phone to work. Can someone explain how to do it, please?

Also, have you had any recent experience with the PM add-on?

If it's on automatic then just leave it.

Do you know yet whether you're on volte?

Slide your finger downwards starting from the top of the screen.
Press the settings icon.

If you want to select a network manually, press Select manually and wait while your phone searches for networks.

@c_herrera

another PM'er was in Bauston last week and reported that the PM talk, text and data add-on, worked just fine.

It only works for 360 hours from the time you actually buy the add-on. If you plan on staying longer than 15 days...be aware that you'll likely need to wait 360 hours + 24 hours before re-buying that same add-on.

T-Mobile is the only network that will work. See if you can enable volte when you get there for superior talk experience.

Good luck and let us know what you think of the add-on when you return home.
