LD Holiday Bonus IN US?

[ca]

Hi,

I'm in Canada and activated the holiday bonuses - long distance minutes and data.

I'm flying to Hawaii tomorrow and would like to be able to receive calls there.

Does the 500min free Long Distance calling Add-on only work if calling or receiving calls from within Canada? Or will it still work (receiving/making calls) from within HI?

Or will I need to purchase a US roaming add-on to make/receive calls in Hawaii?

Thanks

 @ca : As a curiosity, if you do wait to purchase talk roaming, try calling your number somehow when there. I think there might be a "grace" inbound or two until it doesn't.

Never mind if you buy it before.

Sorry you'll have to get a roaming add on to use while you're in the USA.

Those free long distance minutes will only work if you're calling from within Canada.

If you use a VoIP app like Text Now and have access to free WIFI, you'll be able to use that for free to call and text, while you're in HI.
