We have two phones with easy roam turned to on on both phones under one account. If we are both using our phone is the $14.99 charge per phone or per account? We are going to the States for a few days.

@cheeseluvr The daily charge is per line using roaming services.  You may want to consider switching to a Canada-US plan, even if it’s just for one of the lines. Canada-US plans have roaming included. You could use your phone all day like you were in Canada for no added charges.  It would only be an extra $3 a month for your line ending with 23. Plus, you data allowance would be 100gb vs the current 15gb. It’s an option you may want to consider. You can switch to this plan online if you think it’s worth it.

Hi Bernard

We are also heading to the US for a few days - we have international roam included in our account - thus we would be paying a flat fee per day?  Would it make sense for us to do as you advised above….switch to a US/Can plan?

Thanks

If you go to the US about once a year I think it would be worth it. Especially for only $3 extra per month and 85GB more data

@Mtl514 Well, it’s a very personal decision, depending on the frequency of your travel to the US  in any given year. You have multiple lines, you could just consider chning plans on one line and sharing data off of that (hotspotting).  We only go 2-3 times a year, sometimes just for the day to fill up on Trader Joe’s products :-), we switched our lines for the peace of mind of not ever worrying about roaming and the extra data.
