US trip

[haxima]

i only have the $18 Canada plan, will I receive SMS when I am in US if I do not buy any roaming add-on? 

I will have hotel wifi, any way I can make calls back to Canada?

You will be able to receive SMS texts while traveling in the USA (without any roaming package).  

However, you will not be able to make phone calls or receive phone calls.  You could purchase a US roaming add on for calls. 

You could use other apps like WhatsApp or Textnow app to call back to Canada.
