we are planning a short trip down to the US. does the roam add-on allow me to call my home from the US?

thanks.

Yes, it will. However, being able to make calls depend on the type of phone you have. You must have a VoLTE capable phone that's on Public Mobile's whitelist in order to make calls due to the shutdown of the 3g service in the US.

Just keep roaming on. Connect manually to AT&T or T-Mobile or Verizon which shows up. It will ask you purchase a roaming plan once you enter but you can ignore it.

It doesn't really matter. Public Mobile will not charge extra for anything.

Make sure you have the most up to date iOS software on your iPhone 8 as well, but yes you're good to go with that phone.
