Travelling to USA from Quebec- will I be charged extra for roaming?
When I get to NY, to use data when necessary do I need to turn roaming on? Will i be charged extra crazy fees for roaming? Or will I just be using data? I am worried I Will be getting a crazy bill when turning on roaming.
Thank you

Fizz is a prepaid service, you will not be charged for the services you didn't pay in advance. So if you will use all the money from your Fizz wallet, then the service becomes unavailable.
In order to use data in US, please don't forget to activate the data roaming.
Please don't forget that money from your wallet can be also used to call and receive calls, send SMS (incoming SMS are always free) if your phone is VoLTE certified by Fizz. So maybe it will be better to buy a data travel add-on separately, but it's up to you 😉.

You need to turn romaing on for data.
You can see the following info from : <my plan> \ < manage>\<travel addon> ( or use this link https://zone.fizz.ca/dce/customer-ui-prod/account/plan/manage?productId=137328)
Pay as you go for USA
Or Travel Add on for USA

I recommend getting a travel-add on. Before I had a Canada/US plan, I used pay-as-you-go data for one day in Vermont once and it added up pretty quickly. And add-ons are really not expensive.

Please also keep in mind that it's better to have a VoLTE-enabled and Fizz certified phone: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/why-volte-important#3
But even if your phone is not on the list of Fizz VoLTE-certified phones, if your phone is more recent, you should be able to use data in the New York area.
