Data problems

[JerLesage]

Hi there. I’m in the USA on vacation and used all my data so I added more but it will not work.

Remember to ask PM to help to reverse your point redemption.  🙂

I just changed my subscription to 159gb so all is good. 👍

hi @JerLesage 

there is no US roaming data only to redeem.  But@slusagm had made a great point, you will need to use 2 different type of data addon if you are back to Canada soon.  So, I also think you should ask PM agent to help you to renew your plan early now instead of buy/redeeming data addon.

as suggested, you bought the incorrect data...that add-on is for use whilst in Canada. Using the app, log in to your account, click on the Subscription tab (at the bottom of page)...then find Shop Add-ons...the first to show will be titled US Roaming.....then make your selection. (The first selection has no data included so look to the second and third options)

@JerLesage 

yes, that data is for Canada only

and are you coming back Canada before the end of your PM plan cycle?  reason i ask is that you can buy US data to use when you are in US.  But when you are back in Canada, you will be out of data, too.  That US data won't work when you are back

So, for your situation, it might better to ask PM to help you to renew your current Canada-US plan early so you will have data when you are back in Canada

My plan has unlimited calling to Canada and USA I only need data. Idk y I can’t just use my reward points. I did it a few years ago and it worked great.

hi @JerLesage 

you can ask PM agent to reverse the rewards redemption

if you want US roaming, you should choose Category: US Roaming and choose one of those

@JerLesage 

if you need data now, I'd suggest you buy the correct US data add-on, then later on, get Customer Support to credit your account for the rong data you bought.

hi @JerLesage 

from the screenshot, you bought the wrong data addon, that is for Canada

you need to buy the US roaming addon if you are in US

please ask PM agent to help to reverse the wrong purchase so you can buy the correct one
