trouble with US roaming/talk/text service

[CD66]

Can I get my money back for a USA add on that didn't work?  The first one purchased worked but the 2nd one did not.  Was within the guidelines, did all the fixes that were suggested but nothing helped.

Yes, you could ask agent for refund.

PM will have T-mobile 2G network for US talk. Try to manually connect to T-mobile.

Roaming is for Data only. 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.

@CD66   are you re-buying the exact same US roaming add-on? 

did you wait 24 hours (or 12 hours) after the first one expired and re-buy?  The wait is needed

You can first check if PM took the money and leave it as Available Fund.  Login My Account using Incognito mode.  If it did, you can leave it in your account for use towards future plan renewal.  Or if you still need the roaming now, you can wait the 24 hours and then try again.  If the money is sitting at Available Fund, the system will use the money there for the purchase

If you really need it refund, you can try, but it could take a week or two for PM to process.

Re-buying roaming add-ons is problematic. Do you see the amount in your balance? Are you still needing the roaming or are you home now?
