Hi there @pm.

Welcome to the Community.

Prepaid customers are unable to use their services outside of Canada; as such, you wouldn't be able to roam in the US with your prepaid Bell phone. By extension, this also goes for all other international locations outside of Canada.

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.

Bell does not offer roaming add-ons or international network coverage for prepaid accounts. Prepaid plans do not support roaming or international travel. Your service will not function outside of Canada.

To avoid interruptions, you would need to:

  • Modify or change your plan to a monthly postpaid plan.
  • Consider utilizing a local SIM card at your destination or a travel eSIM provider to stay connected.
  • Rely on the local Wi-Fi network.

Hi, I am currently on a prepaid plan and was wondering what my options were to receive service in the US.

Not so much concerned with data more texting and talking.

Thank you.
