[Lori287]

If I have the $25/mth plan and would like to know that if I purchase the talk US/Canada for $15/30 days and then purchase the roaming for the US will I be able to us my phone in the States?

You can have multiple US roaming add ons. You just cannot have two that both have a talk feature as a glitch will cause the calls to drop at about 53 seconds. One smart customer staggers the call/text/data roaming add on with just the data roaming add on to bridge the 24 hour gap between purchasing the same add on and uses their voip app for calling/texting during that time.

Fongo uses 0.5mb per calling minute. (250mb=500min)

Did you, or anybody else ever measured how much data is used for TextNow phone call or SMS?

I know Viber visual call ill eat about 250MB/hour.

Yes, visual calls could be a lot . 

But TextNow voice only call consumes around 0.3 to 0.5 mb/minute

You can receive texts but for talk, data, and sending texts you will need a roaming add-on.

They expire 10 days after purchase.

There is no $15/30 day plan for USA. If you mean to downgrade from $25 to $15, then "yes", any USA roaming add-on will still work.

 @Lori287 : It's only roaming add-ons that will allow you to call in/out, text out, use cell internet. All other services are for while in Canada.

@Lori287   I think all you need is one of the US roaming add-on

But pick careful, you cannot have multiple roaming plan.  You can have one at a time.  Maybe just the US talk if you just need talk and no data.  Or US bundle if you need talk and text and data

Or, to save a little bit, you can just get the US data and then use TextNow to call US and Canada number using the app for free
