Hi
I am travelling to the U S for a period of three months and I wonder if I can buy add-ons one shot ( talk + data+ text)! or do I have to renew it every ten days which really seems rather not practical and also quite expensive. Reza Kousha

@rezakousha : Nope. No buying in bulk. No stacking. One by one every 10 days. Keep track of the exact time you buy them. At exactly 240 hours you can buy a different named add-on. So say you buy the talk/text/data bundle and the 240 hours is up. You can buy the other talk/text bundle or individual talk or text. But to re-buy the one that just expired you have to either ask the CSA's to re-buy it for you or wait at least overnight to re-buy it yourself.
It's just a goofy bug. And don't buy talk or text anything while one is still in operation.

Your better off getting a local sim card and plan from a company like Mint Mobile 🙂. Their USA based and pretty cheap compared to getting multiple roaming add ons from PM.
Also don't forget to get a VoIP phone number from an app like Text Now, so that you can use it for free calling and texting when you have wifi available.
