Go ahead... roam the USA
Due to technical issues, we are unable to activate prepaid roaming for the United States on your PC mobile account. We would be happy to send you a text message to inform you if this service becomes available again. To receive this text alert, please contact our Customer Service Centre at 1-877-284-6361 and speak to a PC mobile representative.
Before travelling to the US, please call PC mobile customer service before you go to verify if your phone is eligible for US roaming. If it is, we'll arrange your roaming service so you can stay in touch while you're away.
When you roam with you PC mobile in the USA, the following charges1 apply:
- $1.80 CDN/min for airtime if you make a call anywhere within the same US local calling area where you are physically located.
- Additional $0.99 CDN/min for any long distance calls you make outside the US local calling area where you are physically located.
All incoming calls, while roaming in the US, are charged at $1.80 + $0.40 CDN/min.
Helpful Hint:
Before you leave, you'll need to arrange with PC mobile customer service to be set up on the pre-authorized top-up program. It's super easy and makes traveling super convenient. But remember, if you decide to cancel the roaming feature, the pre-authorized top-up program will need to remain active on your account for 90 days after cancellation to accommodate any delayed billing from US carriers.
