U.S. Talk, Text and Data Bundle

[robihot]

Hi have a couple of questions:

Going to the US this week and planning to purchase a US Talk, Text & Data Bundle...

1) I understand that it's unlimited texting -- but does that include texting pics ?

2) I understand that it's unlimited Talk -- Will I be able to call from the US to Canada, call from the US to a Canadian cell number who is in the US (understanding that he or she has US Roaming)?

3) Will Data stop at 250MB or will i have a surprise data charges (over 250MB) ?

Thanks in advance!

My apologies for the wrong info.  I guess they fixed it but never announced it.

So it could be another one of those "well...officially the deal is this" but then in the real world it does that.

@Anonymous it was a limitation when the US Roaming add-ons launched in Nov 2016 that MMS wasn't initially supported.  I believe they have since fixed that.

Noted.  This is an assumption but while roaming in the US, we connect to partner networks.  However the APN is not changed and so MMS should still go through the same proxy as if in Canada.

Text always includes SMS and MMS?

I believe MMS is included in the text package.  Generally, MMS is unmetered data because it is routed through a proxy.  The talk feature allows calls to Canada as well as US.  There's no overage charges on data.  When the allotment is used up, data stops.

No can not send pics

Yes can call any Canadian number 

Data just stops
