US Add-Ons activation

[Danchvn]

Hi All.

It won't be anytime soon but at some point in the future I plan to travel through the US for a bit to go out west. After reading about the various 10 day US Add-Ons I'm sure one of them will suit me fine but I have a question as I didn't see anything about it when going through the community posts.

Will the US Add-On be activated and the ten days start as soon as I make the successful purchase or is there an option to start at a later time (eg a day or two later)?

Thank you.

@mimmo Great to know. I will have to write that number down.

@Danchvn   Perhaps it might be easier to just save it in your contact list 😊

@dabr Ya...guess I could do that. 🤔 Would be better than trying to find that scrap of paper when I need it.

@Triguy Thanks for the info. I suspected that was the case but had some wishful thinking that I would be able to set it up earlier. No biggie I guess as I see there are options how to do it on the road.

You can buy the 10 Day US Roaming add-on while using free wifi in US...such example as Wallmart and most cafes have free wifi today.

@mimmo that is very helpful information. Did that come directly from the website or because you are an oracle it is like inside information? 🤷‍♀️ 😸

it is/was stated somewhere and from personal experience.

@Danchvn if you use 611 from your phone to buy an addon you require your 4 digit pin code to do so.

@Danchvn 

Make sure that is a valid credit or debit card on file in order to purchase add-on from your phone.  OR

You can also add fund to your account using topup voucher before leaving Canada.

Please note that if you purchase your US add-on at 11pm ET, it will count as 1 day for 1 hour usage.

@Danchvn  That is correct, the add-on becomes active as soon as your purchase it and the 10 day counter starts.

or is there an option to start at a later time (eg a day or two later)? Unfortunately that option is not available.

Thank you.
