New Canada-US plan

wolfrat — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 22:52:44 GMT

This plan was previously only available in QC, now Canada wide.

$50 for

40 GB Canada-US Data at 4G Speed
Unlimited Canada-US wide minutes and messaging plus unlimited international text and picture messaging

That includes the roaming while in the US?

That sounds too good to be true! My current plan is $35, so it makes much more sense to go up to this $50 plan when traveling to US rather than adding roaming/talk/text for $30 for only 15 days. Am I missing something?

Or is it just that this is a promotion and if I can't really go back and forth?

Yes, it's full roaming of talk and text and using the full 40gb of data anywhere in the US and Canada (where applicable in the US anyway). If you wish to spend that kind of money on a plan then have at it. It's currently the best price per gig plan here.

We don't know how long the plan will be available.

@wolfrat at the moment, it didn't say limited time offers. But PM has been aggressively changing plans lineup, so we can never tell when PM will pull it

@wolfrat

sounds like its a newly offered PM plan for your consideration. Nobody knows how long it'll be available, so if its something you want...get after it.

@wolfrat It’s real . No expiry if you call and go to the US it’s one fantastic plan . Get it before it’s gone .

I just set mine up to switch. Regarding your comment around switching to this plan "when travelling", that may or may not work out for you. This plan could change or go away next week, so if you don't grab it there is a chance it won't be there when you're ready to travel. It might be, but if you really want it I'd get it now. You can always change it later if something better comes along.

It’s a good deal if you travel to the US frequently and use a lot of data… but I use 10gigs or less per month, and i don’t travel much so I’m going to pass for this one. I only go to the US once every couple years so I can always just buy an add-on, and that’s when I’ll use my public points.

Does us roaming include Hawaii and Alaska?

Re: New Canada-US plan

DennyCrane — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 20:38:07 GMT

Hawaii, yes

Alaska, no. Contrary to what the website says. There is no TMobile service in Alaska. AT&T also used to be a roaming partner, but is no longer. If that changes then we'll have roaming service rim Alaska again, but for now it's a no.

Will this work for someone who is going away to school in the US for 10 months and wants to keep their PM number for 2 factor authentication?

Re: New Canada-US plan

Handy1 — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:18:30 GMT

@jtos14mb14 Yes it will

Re: New Canada-US plan

jtos14mb14 — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:20:05 GMT

They won't suddenly cut of service because most of the service is happening in the US?

Re: New Canada-US plan

Handy1 — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:21:24 GMT

@jtos14mb14 No I don’t believe so

Re: New Canada-US plan

DennyCrane — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:25:19 GMT

I don't see any mention of a reasonable use clause with regards to roaming, so I don't think so. I guess you never know, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. If they contact you you can deal with it then.

Query: the only unclear point is long distance. It is clear you can use it in both Canada and America, but, if you make a call from Montreal to San Francisco, is that still long distance? Or, put another way, can you only call a USA number from within the USA (and vice versa)?

Re: New Canada-US plan

DennyCrane — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 20:58:26 GMT

@RedMtl1 You're good. It's unlimited calls to/from the US and Canada. Long distance calls from Canada to the US are included, and vice versa.

Re: New Canada-US plan

RedMtl1 — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 20:59:32 GMT

Thanks! That point isn't clearly made anywhere in the information. Good to know. Appreciated!

Re: New Canada-US plan

dust2dust — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 20:59:55 GMT

@RedMtl1- Long distance is becoming more and more a thing of the past. This plan can call Canada and the US from Canada and the US (except some restricted numbers).

Much obliged for the extra confirmation.
