Hello!
I'm looking for a pre-paid plan for a friend that will stay here in Canada for 3 weeks and also 1 week on the USA. So he would like to have talk, text and data that he could use in both countries during 1 month. That's when I saw this plan from Public Mobile:
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/qc/plans/50for8GB-3Gspeed
By looking at the description it seems to be a winner. But when I went to Walmart I was told that the plan wouldn't work in USA.
So my question is: would this plan work in both Canada and USA? Would he be able to call both countries (and receive calls), text and use 3G data? Any restrictions?
I really appreciate anyone's help! Thank you a lot!

You might have to buy a prepaid plan in the US just make sure it’s not on contract and it works for Canada as well

@andremachado If your friend needs a plan for both US and Canada without the need for add-on then maybe a US plan that includes unlimited calls/text and 16GB of data including roaming to Canada, Us and Mexico would be a better fit. The US is far more competitive when it comes to cell plans than we are.

Hope this helps.

Don't think you'll get a sim and a plan for less than $15 cdn.
I Agree, good value

Hi Andre
The plan you mentioned only included use in Canada, your friend would also need to get a "add on" to use the phone in the USA, US roaming for 10days is only $15, talk, text and some data.
Hope this helps.

The Unlimited USA and Canada means you can call TO anywhere in canada and USA while in Canada. If you are located IN the USA and want to make calls, you would need a USA add-on to your plan.
