@Dunkman- Please stop mentioning AT&T. Whether with or without roaming add-ons AT&T simply does not connect. This has been found here by a couple regulars in a couple different locations having solid signal from AT&T.

The issue with Public mobile US roaming at the present time is the decommissioning of 3G Networks in the USA.  Public mobile uses AT&T and T mobile as their US partner carriers.  AT&T already phased out 3G network earlier this year. T mobile 's date was July 1. 

 

According to Public mobile,

PM will have T mobile 2G network for US roaming.(for talk)

Voice and SMS text will still work. 

Data will work on LTE, but will switch over to 2G to make a call. 

However, the quality of service will vary depending on the different coverage areas when roaming in the USA.

 

Public mobile is working on a long term solution, but that will take time.

Roaming in the USA is very spotty at best depending on where you are in the USA.

 

Make sure that your connected to the T-MOBILE network, since it's the only one you'll be able to connect to with the roaming add on that you bought.

@condor1   with PM TALK roaming on T-Mobile only, it is hit and miss.  Try from different area and see if it works

 

A quick workaround, download VoIP app TextNow when you have wifi and you can use it to make calls to regular phone number
