US data, text, and calls don't work with US & Canada plan?

I bought a plan that says "50GB Data within Canada and the US at 5G Speed" specifically for travel to the U.S. When I crossed the border, I didn't have any useful connectivity.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and I checked my settings to make sure that data roaming was enabled but my phone showed SOS access only the entire time I was in the states.

What should I try or should I just switch to another provider?

Also enable VoLTE for calling in the US.

Thanks for the link. I'm not in the US and, unfortunately, couldn't access any troubleshooting information on my last trip because I didn't have data. I'll try the manually selecting a network the next time I cross the border to see how that works.

You are right.  It should have worked properly.  Are you in the United States right now? Public mobile uses AT&T and T mobile as their carriers.  Supposedly, Verizon also should work now. 

Here is some more troubleshooting advice:
