US Add-On not working

[greg1983]

I've purchased US data call text add-on ($22.60) November 25, 2022 for Black Friday shopping in Buffalo.

The add-on did not work. I've visited T-Mobile store to get help because the connection problem was showing T-Mobile. I've told the manager that I've purchased the same add-on  last year at Black Friday time and the add-on worked great in 2021. The manager told me that the towers were upgraded to 5G and that's why mine cell phone was connecting and disconnecting constantly. My friend had to activate roaming on their cell phone so we can use navigation.

I filled out the ticket over half an hour ago, I'm waiting for something to happen. I don't see envelope icon in top right hand corner, is that normal?

@greg1983   I doubt tower upgrade caused the prolem, as long as T-Mobile still have LTE/4G there

Data and text are on LTE/4G so it should not relatively easy to connect, voice is a different story

But, don't get too upset, if you are back in Canada now, open ticket with PM and they usually will reverse the transaction without much push back

If you are still in US, enjoy your time there, buy a local data sim card and use it there instead of trying to roam
