@qawsed222 technically you COULD, but only if you are physically close enought to the USA to be able to connect to a T-Mobile or AT&T tower.  You'd have to turn off auto network selection and manually choose T-Mobile or AT&T.  But again, you'd have to be nearly at the border for this to work.  I think there is a small amount of overlapping coverage on either side of the border.  So, yes, technically POSSIBLE, but not practically useful.

Sorry i was confused with your post ( I've had a long morning). If you are out of data, and your plan re-news in 10 days you can ask about renewing your plan early. Just send them a private message

I had tried this and it did not work. Roaming US data can only be used in the US in my experience.

who's mod?

No you cannot, because you'll be using a Canadian provider, instead of an American (AT&T or T-Mobile) You will have to buy the Canadian data add on.

 

Edit: Ignore the re-new plan early option. If you only need data for 10 days, the canadian add ons are too expensive

i only need data for 10 days in canada too, so I hope this is an option

This is a good question, never really thought of that option. The US addon only lasts 10 days anyways.

 

I would say no, the data cannot be used in Canada
