US Travel

[johnmacpei]

Travelling to the US for a few days. Have purchased data roaming add-on and wondering if I need talk or text add-on when my plan has free international text and unlimited Canada-US calling

With your not answering all questions maybe you could just post your payment history.

Edit: view your payment history of the relevant time period, take a screen snip or capture, edit it to blank out any personal information or maybe also excess unneeded area, post the image here.

It would be gone now but do you remember seeing it lower down on your overview page?

Or if you haven't renewed yet since then, do you see at least the amount you paid in your Available Funds? Or maybe have a look in your payment history (or post it here) to see what transpired.

Thanks for the reply, the reason i am posting now is because I am new to public mobile and I didnt know the medium to contact public mobile, as far as the settings and everythig else goes. Everything was fine. I actually put my partners sim card in my phone to check as she is with Fido and her service was working just fine..

For Public Mobile, you need to purchase roaming add-ons to have outgoing service and data in the states.

I went to US last month and prior to me leavning I paid the fee and activated the account. I however when went to US, I didnt get any service there and hence I feel that my money was wasted. 

I was wondering either If i can get my money back or if you can advise otherwise. 

I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon. 

Thanks and Regards,

@mian_muzaffar  why are you posting now?  at least 2 weeks after the issue? you should have posted when in the USA.  Most times from what i have seen, when the usa addons dont work it is a phone setting not the service. 

Was the addon visable in selfserve? sometimes people think they purchased they addon but they only added funds, (assuming this is not the case as you said paid and activated)

There's some confusing terminology in your post.

Do you have active service with Public Mobile?

Did you in fact try to buy a roaming add-on?

Do you see it lower down in your overview screen?

Or do you see the amount you paid still in your Available Funds?

Hi @johnmacpei

If you do not have a US roaming Text add on then you will not be able to send any text while there. 

The ‘International’ designation on your current plan indicates you can send/receive text to any number (local or intl) while in Canada

@johnmacpei

Calling and texting must originate in Canada..so you will need add ons for each service you will require while in the US
