Hi
I was just wondering can I send a text while in the United States to another Canadian Phone using my current Public Mobile plan? If no can I do it with a special package? If yes how much?
Regards Don

HI @pilatske1
No, you cannot send text in US without a roaming add-on purchased
Data and Text roaming is a good deal and easy to use.
But Talk roaming might not work well.
Are you just looking to send text in US? You can get a free VoIP app, maybe TextNow. Then you can send and receive text and calls (on another number you picked when you register with TextNow) for free. it works when you have Wifi or Mobile Data

@pilatske1 you need US roaming add-on to use the service when you are in US
The only thing you can use for free is to receive text when you are in US. But only receive and not sending text, and only if you connects to T-Mobile
To get proper PM service while you are in US, you need to buy one of these add-ons:

@pilatske1 This requires a U.S. add on starting at $15 for 15 days

@pilatske1 You'll need to buy one of the US addons. You can get unlimited talk/text for 15 days for $15.
