US Roaming plan not working without expiring

[christie_y]

Hello,

I purchased the US Text Call 250 mb roaming plan on December 24th. On December 26th I used most of my data so I purchased the 1gb data roaming add on hoping to increase my data usage.  I read the Public Community and saw that it is most likely the provisioning issue.  Would you be able to help me restore my text and call roaming and still keep my data 1 GB roaming plan?  Also if I run out of data again, what is the best way to increase my data usage without causing service disruption?  Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Thank you all for your responses and suggestions!  Currently, my calling stopped working so I opened the ticket. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

HI @christie_y   , 

it is not a "provisioning" issue, I think someone used the terms wrong before.

The 1GB Data roaming you got does not have Talk, right?  If it does not, both US roaming should work together.   Right now, is it just Data working and you don't have talk/text?  Try to connect to both T-Mobile and AT&T and see if you get the same result.  If not, check with PM Support is the way to go

Also, as @Triguy and @HALIMACS  said, you used quiet some data in such short time, it is cheaper to get local US prepaid data instead

If you need more data and plan on staying longer in the US then you might consider using mintmoble.com who offer monthly plans.

If you're going to be consuming that amount of data while in the US, (and going to be there for any length of time) consider going to a local mobile store and purchasing a prepaid 30-day SIM card from one of the local mobile providers.

It may come with several gigabytes of service and cost you only $15 to $20.

Thank you t_p!
