Hello.
I pretty much used up my 2g roaming and I’m crossing the border today and need my roaming. Do I need to purchase the bundle pkg roaming, talk and text. And does it work on data as well. It’s not very clear. And I only really need it for today as my plan is renewing in the next two days.
cheers

If you have the $60 plan with 2GB US rooming + unlimited US talk/text per 30 days.
You need only US roaming add-on. Since US roaming add-on expires after 10 days, you need to decide base on your usage and number of days in US.
250MB Data for $10, 500MB Data for $15 and 1GB Data for $20 for 10 days.
US roaming add-on starts right away after purchase. It will count as one day if you purchased US add-on 5 minutes before midnight ET.

I would probably ask moderators to renew you early as you don't need 10 days of add-ons
If you are gonna be using more than 2 gigs in USA then it would be reasonable to get the data only add-on as your talk and text will work just fine.
Really depends on your projected usage there

Hi
If you are staying for long and using a lot you could ask moderators to renew you early
Is roaming still free (reimbursed)?

@mellondon Your best option would have been to renew your existing plan early by submitting a ticket to PM. Since it's too late for that option you can purchase a US data roaming add-on:
No need to purchase a bundle or Talk/Text as your plan covers unlimited Talk/Text when in the US.

@mellondon the cheapest roaming data add om is 250mb for $10. Its a 2 step process add the $10 and then select the addon.
Or you can use 611 to buy it if you have an attached credit card amd know your 4 digit pin.

@mellondon if you are close to the border can't you try to manually select PM as your network? You maynot need a roaming addon. Stay safe.

I have 3g of data left. I’m out of roaming. So what do I purchase

@mellondon there's a $20 package that includes talk,text and 250mb for 10 days. just choose the cheapest option for you ie. just talk for $8 if your plan is renewing in 2 days.. unless you really need the data
06-02-2020 02:29 PM
The add-ons are 10 days. Yes there's data. Yes that's your Public Mobile option.

@mellondon , the roaming add-on works as you have described it. Add-on augments included usage when fully consumed. Since you only need data, you can buy the data add-on.
