Can someone please tell me if the US Roaming - Talk Text (10-day) add on is unlimited talk and text in that time period.
Thanks!

HI @TFC 

Yes, travel sim card is a better and more reliable option.  Then you can make calls and receive text using VoIP app such as TextNow and Fongo.  The app will let you pick  a 10 digits number.  then just give your friend the new number and you can make and receive calls and text on the app

Thanks for your help, although feel like I'm heading down a rabbit hole now LOL

@TFC , VoLTE adoption should be in the works.  Other competing brands have actually stopped offering US roaming where VoLTE is not available yet.

@TFC hi I would not depend on it at this time your best bet is to look into a travel sim,Amazon has many to choose from

Thanks for your speedy reply Yummy!
That's a bit scary about the phone basically becoming useless in the States.  Does Public/Telus have a plan to address this?
However I was in the States in April?  Do you know if it has become worse since then?  As my phone is my only form of communication whilst there I'm a bit concerned by this knowledge but also REALLY APPRECIATE you giving me the heads up about it 🙂

Yes, US add-on text/talk is unlimited. But be prepared for add-on not to work perfectly as US A is decommissioning 3G network. Read below links!
