usa roaming - data question

[dunccurtis]

I already have this plan for usa roaming. Can I use the 10gb of data in the usa without buying another add on? Will it work straight away or do i need to do something to activate it in the usa?

$50 for unlimited Canada-wide/U.S. minutes + 10GB data

3G shutdown would only affect calls technically... Data roaming should continue without interruption.

A lot of people have had issues with the US roaming recently, most reliable and cost effective method would be a local prepaid sim options and/or voip app

HI @dunccurtis   the plan you got is for use from Canada only

When you are in US, you need US roaming add-in

Data roaming add-on has a 10 days expiry and could be expensive.  If you are planning to be there longer than 10 days and expected to use more than 1GB, you will be better off buying local Data prepaid plan

Many people confuse the US minutes or international texting as meaning they can use the service elsewhere. You can't. There used to be a plan that had roaming but it was short-lived and well sought after.

So for all other plans, you need the roaming add-ons to use the service in the states. And only the states.
