Hi @tazb, yes PM operates only in Canada, with no roaming agreements. Many of us (myself included) use Roam Mobility when travelling to the USA, but there are other options such as iRoam, or purchasing a pre-paid SIM card and plan from a US-based provider. If you need to be able to receive calls on your own number while in the USA, you could use an app such as Fongo to pick up an additional local phone number, then forward your PM calls to your Fongo number *before* you leave Canada. Fongo works over data, so as long as you have a data plan with a US based carrier or Roam Mobilitiy etc, you will get your calls forwarded to you over data. Unfortuantely, I know of no way to forward texts, but if you use any data-based messaging apps instead of texting, the messages will of course reach you. For outbound calls, if you want them to show on call display with your usual phone number instead of your temporary American number, pick up Google Hangouts Dialer app, go into the settings, and confirm your phone number (it sends you a code over SMS). After that, you can enable the option to send your own phone number on Hangouts calls. Then, you can call anyone through the Hangouts Dialer (again, over data), and it will look like you are calling from your PM phone number.
Hopefully this helps? It's not as convenient as a Roam Like Home type arrangement, but with the savings you are getting most of the year while at home in Canada, it's probably worth the small hassle.
