It’s all in USA dollars. When I had mine I always bought top up cards at Walmart USA. Unfortunately the folks on the phone there are clueless that a snowbird would have use for their service nor would they accept my Canadian credit card. That was long ago and things may have changed but I found using Walmart as my intermediary in accepting my credit card was good.

I just did a chat with them. See below.

@susanmyraPM to suspend your service and not be charged as suggested above by @will13am . Enable the lost /stolen phone feature from within your service / my account .  Enjoy your trip . And take it off, apply payment manually , and hit the reactivate account option upon your return.

@gblackma  there is no need to use lost stolen.  the account will go into suspention if autopay is disabled.  the only reason to ise lost stolen if rewards or account balance is greater than the plan.

@susanmyraPM  Best to search on Amazon.ca for US prepaid sim cards. Many great choices.

@susanmyraPM , Public Mobile US roaming add-ons start immediately upon purchase.  They all have a 10 day duration.  Your 50 day stay is not going to fit well with what this service has to offer.  I suggest shopping locally for something with monthly duration.  For this service, you can safely put it into suspension while you are away and then restore service once you come back.

Only thing available now is the 10 Day US Roaming talk/text/data add-on.

Alternatives are a voip app or get a local sim and a cheap US plan.

Sorry @susanmyraPM no, presently there are only 10 day roaming add ons.
