Roaming Pass ROW in Canada

[Harpreettamber]

I am currently on an all rounder plan and using my inclusive extra for TNT Sport. I’m going to Canada next week and wanted to know if I can just text “ROAMING” to 150, pay £25 and then use my UK allowances for calls, text and data in Canada?

Texting ROAMING to 150 serves two purposes.

1: Primarily, it's to ensure the free roaming facility is active, allowing your phone to connect to foreign networks and thus have coverage outside the UK

2: Provides pricing details

When your phone first connects to a Canadian network, you'll receive a welcome text message containing - amongst other things - details on paying for a billing add-on or weekly pass.

Thanks for the response.

An option on my inclusive extras is “Roaming Pass ROW”, can that be added to my account for 30 days and then removed to allow me to use my allowances on Canada?

I looked through add-ons for Canada and it looks to be restricted to a 7 day add on

Yes, you could PICK the “Roaming Pass ROW” Inclusive Extra instead of TNT Sport for 30 days while you are in Canada & then switch back when you get back.
