Hi I am going to vegas for 4 days, not sure if I should upgrade to $60 plan or if there is add ons that work better. 

 

Data is very much important to have, but dont really need talk and text as much.

None of the current plans include roaming. There was one that did, but new and existing customers no longer have access to that plan unless they already have it.

That is a very good thing to know about. Thank you!

@Jackiefargo After using the roaming add-on, be prepared. After back in Canada, incoming text mesaaging will stop working for a day. That's a glitch.

Review the 10 Day Roaming Add-on menu that @Dunkman provided you already. That's the only options that PM offers for use whilst in USA.

Try a free voip app like TextNow..free calling and texting to Canada and US as long as you have wifi.

Get a US sim and a cheap plan in USA.

@Jackiefargo  There aren't any overage charges with Public Mobile. US roaming talk and text include unlimited talk and texting for 10 days. US Roaming data addons once used up data will stop working.

There is still a $60 plan but it's not the one with roaming. Don't think that you lucked out and taking it because's there's no roaming included in the newest $60 plan.

They are another cell provider of cell plans for travelers to the US.  They are not associated with PM.

@JackiefargoYes you will be removing you Public Mobile SIM card and replacing it with your US SIM card unless your phone supports dual SIM

Probably dumb question, but I would just remove my sim card with public mobile for the time I'm down there and use one I purchased for usa use?

Look at the various add-ons and see if they work base on what you think you will need while in Vegas.

You could buy a zim sim which has data only plans 500 MB for $15, 1GB for $25, and 2GB for $35.
