US/CAN time limitation?

thegreatswalmi1 — Fri, 03 May 2024 20:35:26 GMT

I've noticed that for a lot of companies there is a limit on usage in the US when on a roaming plan. With the PM US/Can plan, is there any limit on how long i can be in the states? My daughter goes to school there and i'm wondering if i can get this plan for her so she can use her data and talk/text in the us and canada while she's in university and at home??? I know for some companies they say you have to have 50% of your data etc in the country of origin for three months consecutive or something like that...haven't seen anything in the terms and conditions for PM though?

@thegreatswalmi1 I don’t believe there is a time limit with public mobile . No where’s is there a foot note to say any different. So I wouldn’t be to worried about it as you can only spend so much time in the US before having to come back to Canada anyways

@thegreatswalmi1

The data is based on the plan she is on. She can use it in the USA or Canada with no time limit as long as her account is monthly paid.

Thanks! We're in a bit of a unique situation since she's a student and a dual citizen at that...but hopeful it'll work well 🙂

@thegreatswalmi1 there is no limit it can be used in either country until data ends for the 30 cycle. However, there is currently no Can-us plans offered.

Are you already on one from before?

@thegreatswalmi1 Well it’s a true snow bird plan , so I think you will be fine . If not I’m sure being dual citizen , she can get a better rate plan in the U.S. anyhow with the likes of mint mobile , Verizon to mobile AT&T etc

she's been on mint, which is fine, but they don't (yet) allow roaming in canada without extortion-style add-ons! $20 for 10 days! They were just bought out by another company, so things are changing...jsut don't know when.
