Do you mean your phone is not working while being in USA?

If you account says 'active' then your PM phone is in good standing and should work while in Canada BUT if you did not buy US add-on(s) then you will not have service while in US

There no Telus towers in the USA but if you purchased roaming, PM will switch to AT&T or T-Mobile towers to make your calls.

@Randallb57 

Did you purchase a 10 day US roaming  package while in the USA?

Is your account status active or suspended?

You should be able to receive texts while in the USA without a roaming package.  Otherwise, other services like call, data and outgoing texts needs a 10 day roaming package.
