Roaming addons are for use when you are in the U.S.A. only.
So, you will know if they are working if you can use the addons you purchased while you are in the U.S.A. Roaming addons will not work while you are in Canada.
IF you are wanting to call the U.S.A while you are in Canada that is a regular addon needed (not a roaming one).

@barb123 Good thing for PM as a prepaid service, there is no extra charge, no surprise billing!!
So, with the US roaming, it eithers work or not work, won't got extra charge you don't want.
So, which US Roaming package you got? Make sure you select either AT&T or T-Mobile as your US provider.
also, the 10 days US roaming start from the time you completed the purchase. And of course, make sure you awere that you have to first load fund and then buy add-on. Many people just did the first step and didn't complete the 2nd step
Any other issue, come back and let us know.

Buying add-ons is a 2-step process:
1) Fund your account
2) Make the purchase
Are you sure step 2 is done?
Edit: Are you aware the roaming add-ons are activated right after the purchase and good for 240 hrs? So don't buy it too far in advance if you can.

Purchasing an add on is a two step process. Need to load funds and then purchase the add on.
You should see the 10 day roaming add on in your self service account. Overview page. Under My Data and Add on section.
Don't worry. No surprise charges with Public mobile. It is prepaid. The service just will not work if not prepaid in advance. If data runs out, the service just stops, No extra charges.

@barb123 : No extra fees here. If you still see at least the cost of the add-on in your Available Funds then you need to go back to Purchase Add-ons and actually buy it. It's a non-intuitive 2 steps.
If you bought them then data would show up in the overview page and talk and text would show up under Plan Details.
