I want to make sure that I can receive calls and text from Canada with my same public mobile sim card, number etc. I also want 4 gbs of data as well. How do I set this up?

I am not going to repeat what was said on this thread.

 

When you arrive at your US destination your US roaming add-on or plan,

1.  enable data and roaming. 

2.  restart your phone.  You phone will connect to AT&T or T-Mobile netowrk.  The APN will be setup for you on the connected network.

@BoomDigital You can think about having Roam Mobility, but you need to buy a new SIM card. You will have a number that you can forward your current to the US number when you travel. Roam Mobility charges by day and unlimited data.

@BoomDigital  Best to switch to the $60 plan. you will get 2GB of data and then you can add a US Roaming data add-on as needed.

 

Another option is to purchase a prepaid card when you are down there. Something like this

but you will need to select a US number for it to work.

Yes Public Mobile has Roaming Text, Data and Call Add ons to the States.

 

Follow this guide by @srlawren 

 

However for your 4Gb data you will need to purchase 1Gb use it up or wait until it expire before you can get another one.
