Using existing monthly data

[bowser]

I have a basic $15.00 monthly plan with talk & data. I believe my plan says I have to call anywhere from within Canada. Can I access this data to use the internet in the U.S. or do I need a U.S. roaming add on?

The only pm services you can recieve while in the US without a US roaming add on is incoming text messages. You can reply to 611 texts and call 611 to hear basic account info and access the IVR system to add a pm top up voucher. All other IVR menu options require you to enter your 4 digit account pin # if you wish to purchase add ons, top up your account via your card on file etc...

That is true, you can ONLY place calls from anywhere in Canada to anywhere in Canada.  Data is usable anywhere in Canada.

As far as incoming calls, you can receive them from anywhere in the world, so long as you're IN Canada when receiving them.  

In order to use calling or texting or data OUTSIDE of Canada (and PM Customers can ONLY do so in the USA), you need to purchase a US Roaming add-on, which is only good for 10-day increments at a time and become active at the moment of purchase.  So plan your Roaming add-on purchase accordingly.

Happy & Safe Travels!!!

To use PM's services in US, you will have to buy appropriate add-on.

Otherwise while you are in Canada everything can be used as per your plan no matter where you are.

@bowser   the data are only to be used in Canada.  if you are in US, you will need to buy US Roaming Data, and/or Text/Talk depends  on your  needs

But if you go there long and need more data, you will be betting off buying the local prepaid data plan
