500 international bonus minutes

I have the 500 international bonus minutes, which I know is good for calling the USA. But, if I am in the USA, can I use this to call from the USA to Canada?

You would need to purchase one of the US roaming add-ons which are valid for 10 days from purchase date.

10 day packages

U.S. Talk, Text and 250 MB Data bundle: $20
U.S. Talk and Text Bundle: $15
U.S. Talk Only: $8
U.S. Text Only: $8

@rsorensen....in order to be able to call most US and Cdn numbers whilst in USA, you'd need an active PM account and one of these add-ons....that only work for 10 days (240 hours)

 

Unlimited U.S. Talk, Text and 250MB Data Bundle...$20

Unlimited U.S. Talk and Text Bundle...$15

Unlimited U.S. Talk Only...$8

Unlimited U.S. Text Only...$8

edit...your 240 hours start as soon as you "buy" the add-on. Good idea to buy it just before you go or buy it in USA using free wifi somewhere.

No, this add-on is for the calls originating from Canada to the countries on file under this add-on.

 

Vice versa and from member country to the same country not covered.

    • You will see ‘Make a Payment’ instead of ‘Buy Add-Ons’ if there are not enough funds in your account to make the purchase.
    • If you don’t have sufficient funds to purchase the Add-Ons, you will be asked to make a one-time payment equal to the price of the Add-On, less your current available funds. Click ‘Submit’, then ‘Go back’: now the button below the calculator will say ‘Buy Add-Ons’.

No, this addon is only whilst you (your device) is in Canada.

 

When you are in the USA, you will need to purchase roaming addons for that to get service.

@rsorensen   no, that won't help.  The LD minutes are for calls FROM canada to US

 

When you are in US , you will need to buy US Roaming package

 

or you can use VoIP app like TextNow to call for free

No

Sorry, you can only use them when you're in Canada.

You'll need to get a US roaming package to be able to call when in the USA.
