I’m traveling to California from Canada, staying there for three weeks.
i’m wondering if I have free roaming down there with my plan.
It sounds like I do. Do I have to keep roaming on? Is this considered free roaming?

Thanks so much for all the responses. It’s working great here, and seems to be free!

Roaming must be on. It should be seamless. Some networks may work better than others, especially in Mexico. Good luck.

To clarify, anytime you are not on your home provider's network (PM in this case), you are roaming. It could be free roaming if your plan allows for it, or it could be paid - but it's always roaming and you need to have roaming enabled on your phone.
In your case, your plan provides service in the US and Mexico, so no worries there - and at any rate, Public Mobile is a prepaid network, so there would never be a risk of unexpected charges. If you don't have coverage in the US in your plan and you haven't paid for the US service add-on, it simply wouldn't work and you'd have no service.

Yes, with this plan roaming is free, no extra charges. Roaming needs to be on.
Best to keep your ohone on automatic and connect to best service for US partner.
Please ensure you have a VoLTE enabled phone on PM whitelist in order to be able to send and receive calls in the USA as there is little to no 3G service anymore.
In Canada when you make a phone call, does your phone show LTE in upper right corner? If so, you should be good.
