Shared Plans - Will it share U.S. long distance calling and texting.

[StephR]

When I upgraded my phone I added U.S. long distance calling and texting. I was under the impression when I added the calling to the U.S that my phone on the shared data plan could use the long distance calling also. Would there be a way to fix this without breaking the bank?

Hi there @StephR. Welcome to the Community.

No, shared plans only share data between each other; calling & texting are treated uniquely from line to line on an account and are not shareable. The only option for the line without US calling & texting would be to change to a new plan of its own including that as part of it.

You can take a look at a plan change and what's available via MyBell.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

f you have the Ultimate - shareable 155mb can/us plan  and you have a second phone on the shareable plan can this phone roam for free in the US as well?
