Some Canadian providers have US voice+data rolled into their plans.

I'm with Public Mobile and for $34/mo I get 50GB at 5G + unlimited calling and SMS for Canada and the US. The rollover is seamless when I cross the border and no additional plans or fiddling around with SW or HW.

did you have to activate roaming? I did when I went to NY

Great deal, does the plan include voice mail or offered as an add on as it is not listed on their site.

it does, i have it as well.

Just note it is not unlimited data, you will start getting charged after the 50GB usage until the billing period resets.

With most pre-paid accounts, you can leave roaming on all the time on your phone. So if you're not on a plan that covers you when you are roaming, it simply will not connect to the network since you haven't pre-paid for roaming.

Yeah, voice mail and call display standard.

If you're talking about Public Mobile, you don't get charged for overage, it just throttles your bandwidth.

As per the fine print under "Offer Details":

Data speeds reduced to a maximum of 512Kbps after your included high-speed data bucket is exhausted.

I'm stuck on a corporate plan, so I'll be looking around once I retire. But chances are, I'll probably have to stay with Rogers even though I only get 2 or 3 bars of signal strength where I live. When I tried Bell or Telus in the past, it was even worse and sometimes got no service in some rooms.
