Data Usage in the United States

Hello everyone, 

 

I currently have the 1GB data plan. I will be visiting the US in September. Is the data going to be available in the US or do I have to pay extra before my departure?

 

Thanks so much Public Mobile Community!

None are. There was a short-lived plan last year that covered both countries. It hasn't returned.

Fun fact though...last I checked, inbound calls and texts work in the US without add-ons. But that might have changed recently. And it's unofficial so it could change at any time without notice.

I've been trying to find the answer to a similar question... this one is so close... 

I'm new... I just joined yesterday

I have 8 Gig's of Data and plan to leave for the united states shortly. 

I understand that I need to buy a roaming add on... but will I be able to still access the 8 gig's?

Thank you to whoever responds


@Muskoka60  No, your data will not work in the US. You will need to purchase  PM US roaming add-on that offers data.

@Muskoka60   Sorry no your plan data can only be used whilst you're in Canada.  You'll need one of the US roaming packages for use in the US.  Here are your options..

 

US Roaming6
For 10 Days
U.S. Talk, Text and Data Bundle
Unlimited Talk, International Text and 250MB Data for just $20 for 10 days.
$20
U.S. Talk and Text Bundle
Unlimited Talk and International Text for just $15 for 10 days.
$15
U.S. Talk Only
Unlimited Talk for just $8 for 10 days.
$8
U.S. Text Only
Unlimited International Text for just $8 for 10 days.
$8
U.S. Data Only
250MB Data for $10, 500MB Data for $15 and 1GB Data for $20 for 10 days.
From $10

Your 8Gs would only be data use in Canada.  It is separate from a US roaming data add-on.

@karen_z  Your data will not work in the US unless you are on the $60 plan that includes 2GB of US roaming data.

 

For data to work in the US you need to purchase a 10 day US Roaming data addon.
