I read that WhatsApp is banned in China yesterday. Not sure how true it is.

@E-Kong1   My understanding is that you can receive regular SMS messages as long as you are in the USA, but without a US roaming add-on or plan you would not be able to reply to them.   For any other countries it would be a no.

Hello @E-Kong1 

Public Mobile only works in Canada and the United States. In order for your phone to work in the United States, you'd need to purchase a US Add on. If you don't, you can't use your phone. Your phone will not work outside of these two countries.

@E-Kong1 

only the US as long as you have a roaming add-on or a Cdn/US plan.

added...if you have an iPhone, you can iMessage from anywhere using local wifi. Also, use WhatsApp from anywhere on planet Earth using local wifi.
