Think of the welcome text as an indication that you have connected to a US tower. Disregard it nonetheless. Yes for roaming data you need the roaming data toggle turned on. Not technically needed for talk and text but just leave it on all the time as you have the Canada/US plan so it doesn't matter. Even for non-plan holders it can be left on as there are no extra charges here.
@kinghun What type of phone are you using? If you go into your phones network settings you can usually see. Also on my Pixel I can pull down the top menu and it shows.
it didnt show who i was connected to . i search to look for a provider, couldnt find any. last time a was over i was able to switch to at&t from verison. no provider showed on the screen. i use to get the roaming message fron Virgin when i was with them . if i had a working CAN/US plan i shouldnt be getting a roaming message, right
@kinghun It sometimes takes my phone upwards of 10 minutes to connect. You can probably speed that up by rebooting your phone. That said, if you got that text you did successfully connect. What wasn't working?
Make sure your Preferred Network is set to 4G/LTE, not 5G. Also make sure your Data Roaming is on (on your phone).
if you are right at the border, automatic might not work well. Manual selection is safer. While most phones do not need a reboot after network change, but some do. So, it is perfectly normal
Hi . Did what you said and everything seems to be working. But it didn't automatically switch when I crossed the border. Went to Version first . Then switch to AT&T. Still had to restart t phone before everything was working. Is this normal?
