500 international minutes

[Bob45]

Does the 500 minutes allow u to use the phone in the States or do u have to purchase the roaming add-on which never seemed to work?

 @Bob45 : Only roaming add-ons work in the states. All other services only work while in Canada.

You have to have a US Roaming add-on to use the respective service (Text/Calling)  or  (Data) in the US.

To purchase Add-Ons using your Self-Serve account, follow these steps:

1. Click on ‘Purchase Add-Ons’ on the Overview tab and scroll down to the Add-On calculator.
2. Click the plus sign (+) to add and the minus sign (-) to remove selected Add-ons.
3. When you’ve added all your desired Add-Ons, click ‘Buy Add-Ons’ or ‘Make a Payment’ below the calculator:
• 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’.
4. Select ‘Confirm my purchase’, and you’re done.
5. Some users have found that rebooting the device is required afterwards.
6. When adding a US Roaming add-on, remember they're only good for 240 hours following purchase, and you may need to manually select the US Network (AT&T or T-Mobile) when in the USA.

The international minutes add-ons are to use wherever you have service. To actually get service in the US, you would still need to have a roaming add-on.

What problem did you face when adding or trying to use a roaming add-on in the past?
