You can enable roaming before or after head down to the USA. PM doesn’t charge for roaming not like postpaid carriers.

@Donte123 yes, you can turn it on before your trip 

and when you enter the US, you will get a text asking you to buy roaming, you can ignore it.  It is a default text for everyone

To turn on data roaming on your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options, then toggle Data Roaming on

To turn on data roaming on a Samsung Galaxy and other Android phones, go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks and toggle on Data Roaming.

Hello again @Donte123 

Which phone are you currently using? We can help you step by step turn it on. It can stay on while you're in Canada, it doesn't affect anything.

yes, you need to enable Roaming data on your phone

And make sure you are connected to one of: T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon.  If it does not connect automatically, or does not work well, change the connection to Manual and try each network manually
