Freedom Mobile improved its 30-day Roam Beyond passes, adding extra data and talk, and text options. The provider currently offers two 30-day Roam Beyond passes. The first costs $30 and includes 5GB of data and unlimited talk and text, while the second is $50 for 10GB and unlimited talk and text. More about Freedom Mobile roaming passes, find out below.

The included calling only works for calls to Canada or local numbers in the current Roam Beyond destination that users are in. Texts, on the other hand, are global.

VoLTE Roaming is required to use data, messaging, and voice services, including calls to emergency services in some roaming destinations.

The addition of talk and text to the Roam Beyond passes will make them even more usable. Overall, they seem like good options for travellers, unless you already have a plan with bundled roaming.

Most of Freedom’s plans include built-in roaming to the U.S. and Mexico, and some include Roam Beyond data. However, if you don’t have one of those plans, these new bundles could be a great, affordable way to get roaming.
