How does data, calling and text work in the US?

So I'm traveling to the US on Friday for a few weeks and just added 20$ to my wallet for data, texts and calls. Just wanted to know if I have to manually add US coverage to my Fizz plan or will it be ready to go when I land later this week?

Hi,

just make sure to activate the roaming option of your phone, or else it'll block your usage. 

Also, if money runs out in your wallet, you will lose the ability to use roaming data and texts. There is no surcharge when your wallet runs out of funds.

When you are roaming, incoming texts are the the only usage that is free of charge.
