@dabr Phones have setting to disable data roaming, not usually all roaming. Manual network didn't work either, so something else is wrong.
@cellphoneuser1 OP didn't say what kind of phone he has or updated his thread since yesterday with any additional information, so it's a bit difficult to know why he's unable to connect to PM but keeps connecting to the US towers.
I suggested turning off roaming based upon one household phone (flip phone) that would always get the welcome to US text and suddenly switch over to T-Mobile whenever we were sort of too close to the US border but this never happened with the smart phone. I finally realized that maybe the roaming wasn't disabled and since disabling it seemed to solve that issue.
On a unrelated note, that flip phone was recently replaced with a smart phone and for the first time since activation (just over 20 months) a warning text was received from PM alerting about only having 10 mins left on the account. As this account has gone over the plan mins several times before but never once received that heads up text, I thought it was interesting and thought it might because of the flip phone, although it doesn't make an awful lot of sense because the flip phone received all the other texts from PM regarding payment due etc. However, don't really know and it wasn't a big deal because we always have the back up mins for that account.
