Coverage "Canada + USA" - can I still use the perks data in the States?

Fanni

Hi

If I choose coverage "Canada + USA", but leave the rest (see 1st screenshot) the same as I'm in Canada can I still get to use my perks data from Fizz (see 2nd screenshot)in the States? Or that's only for Canada? Also I have 250gb/500gb monthly that I get from Fizz after a certain period of being with Fizz. Will that work in the States too?

Since I didn't choose "International calls", but chose "Canada + USA" do I get unlimited texts and minutes; voicemail in the US? My understanding is that international is anything outside "Canada".

Sorry this is my first time, changing the plan as I might be travelling to the States only for a weekend. I think data is what I'd be interested in.

Thank you in advance.

@Pascal Thanks great to know. So no worrying about roaming issues since it's already in the plan.

Then why the "International calls" option then? It would be outside Canada & USA? Such as France, Mexico etc.?

Hi @Fanni

Exactly! If you have chosen Canada USA, whether you are in Canada or USA, you will be able to fully use your plan on either side of the border. So, your calls, sms and datas will works

I think if you only travel to US for a weekend, you don't need to change your plans, just buy some add-ons like data, or put some money into your wallet if you don't use much

Thank you @Pascal for your explanations.

@jiyingss but add-on data is $12 for 1gb where I usually pay about $27/month + taxes for everything and now $29/month for the USA coverage (along with Canada). I think it's still worth the $2 + taxes difference (less I probably will only use data predominantly).

Nothing is decided yet but thanks for pointing out the add-on option.

Also take into account that if you modify your plan and the one you've got now is not available anymore later, you could remain stuck with a less convenient plan

That is why the add-on in some situations could be a good choice, even though is more expensive

@FizzyFizz JQMPM yes I was hesitating because of my current lower plan cost. Thank you I've decided not to add "Canada + USA" coverage as it turned out the campsite (conference location) doesn't have good coverage anyway. I would be paying for bad coverage. LOL
