Using data in the usa

Blammo — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:20:14 GMT

When I am in the USA do I just use my phone like I would in Canada? Or do I have to switch something. I’m looking at getting the 35$ can/us/mex plan with 50gb. This is all new to me and I’m a little hesitant. Not the most tech guy out there.

Yes. All of the feature included with your base $35 plan work the same there.

Yes with that plan all you would need to do is turn on roaming and connect to AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

hi @Blammo

change the network connection to Manual and choose one of the 3 networks. If one does not work, try the next one

There usually isn't a settting for just "roaming". The data roaming setting does need to be turned to use data, but that setting has no effect on voice and SMS services.

Thanks, just checked my iPhone settings, the default for roaming was off, will need to turn on I guess.
