DATA in Alberta Canada?
We're going to Alberta this fall - Waterton Lakes, Banff, Jasper. We have the Magenta MAX 55+ plan which provides 40gb/mo of hotspot data on our phones. Is there ANYTHING we need to do to have our ...
All you need to do is have roaming turned on in your devices settings for each device roaming in Canada. As a precaution, you can give Customer Care a call at 611 or reach out to them via Facebook or Twitter by sending them a DM to confirm your account is set to allow them to roam internationally. Just be mindful that data and hotspot allowances while traveling to Canada are significantly less than what your plan normally has in the US. I have personally been to Calgary and Banff. Very beautiful places to visit.
Thanks for the reply.
I talked to T-Mobile this evening. Our phones will only have 5GB/month of hotspot data once we're in Canada. But, they SHOULD work, just not have much data.
T-Mobile has a couple data add-ons - 10-Day, 5GB, $35. And 30-day, 15GB, $50.
I figure with 2 phones and the ability to buy a few $50 data passes we should be reasonably good as long as I don’t have to do any fer-real work…
Everything I need for image storage, management and processing will be local in the RV, so I shouldn’t have to shove huge backups to the cloud, which will help keep the data load down...
