I have Canada-US-Mexico plan included. If I remove International Data Roaming adds-on, does roaming still work in USA?

Best answer by Robert T

If your plan includes Canada, US, and Mexico coverage, removing a separate international data roaming add-on won’t affect your ability to use data in the US because that coverage is built into your plan. Although, I’m not 100% sure.

Make sure to know that Canada, US, and Mexico roaming is part of your base plan, while international data roaming add-ons are for destinations outside that region. Removing the international add-on only impacts coverage in those other destinations rather than your US service. Still, if you are considering the 3 Day Easy Roam Perk, you would choose either the US version or the international version since they cannot be stacked. If you pick the US perk, you are covered for 3 days in the US using your regular plan data, talk, and text. The international perk covers other destinations instead. Does your plan have an international add-on you are removing, or are you looking at the Easy Roam Perk?

It has the international add-on that I’m removing. 
My plan doesn’t have a free perk (3 Day Easy Roam Perk etc.) for some reason. Maybe because it is a promo plan?

Why would you want to remove the International Data Roaming? On a normal plan removing the International Data Roaming would mean you don’t have roaming. You don’t connect to a tower outside Canada. But like I said, the CAN-US-MEX plan might already have it built in.

Just to avoid unintentional roaming charges outside CAN-US-MEX.

Hi ​@dl2010, we don’t recommend removing system add-ons like International Data/Voice Roaming as it’s possible you will not be able to use your services at all while abroad. 

If you’d like to avoid accidental charges while roaming to other locations, you can check this article for information on how you’ll be charged while travelling.
