Hello
I regularly travel to the US and I'm looking to find a PM plan that includes making calls to or while in the US with data included. I've been buying the 15 day roaming add-on each time I'm in the US but that seems somewhat expensive. My account is a 50GB Data within Canada and the US at 5G Speed with Unlimited Canada-US wide minutes and messaging but I believe that is only for when I call to the US. 50GB Data within Canada seems to imply I can use the data while in the US but I thought Unlimited Canada-US was only for calls to the US from Canada. None of the PM plans (except the 15 day add-on) talk about about roaming which I thought was a key word for using the phone while in the US.
Would you mind clarify this for me and/or directing me to a plan that covers calls/data to the US or use while I'm in the US.
Thanks

@GSA my wife and I have the same 50GB Canada/US plan and I can confirm that you can fully use this plan on both sides of the border, unlimited calling and texting works Canada to Canada, Canada to US, US to Canada and US to US. Data is also fully usable in the US as long as you are under the monthly plans limit, so in your case 50GB per month. When we returned from our visit to the US there were no additional charges.

hi @GSA you should have couple Canada US plans on your Change Subscription page
Any plan says Canada-US plan is a roaming plan. Yes, get that instead of roaming add-on.

the plan you have (50GB Cdn / US) works just fine in Canada and US...no need for roaming add-on. You will not rec any unexpected data overages or such with PM as it's a pre-paid service.
added for clarity..
you can use your plan in Canada and USA for talk / text and data without fear of data overages or any overages. Make sure Roaming Data is enabeled in Settings and just leave it on.
