Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya...

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

Ok all kidding aside....

I see the US data, talk and text plans.

I assume noting for Aruba?

I'm heading there this weekend and am looking for x3 text plans for my family.

If not possible then I will just get 3 pre-paid sim cards when I'm there so no big deal but I would prefer to get it through public.

Second Question.... Mexico and other tropical places.... also no addons?

If the answer to these questions is no then Public Mobile is probably losing quite a bit of income because clients like me will just purchase pre-paid sim cards at those destinations.

Answer is no to both.

Even with other brands it is way cheaper to buy a local sim than use roaming like home.

In Mexico sim +1gb of data +free Noth American calling was like 7$.

@Lieux the poster was asking about international roaming not making calls to countries from Canada.

@Lieux, you are wrong on this. The 400-minute package is for calling FROM Canada to those International countries, not for roaming.

Please stop posting incorrect information.

I think you have things mixed up here. These are the countries that you can call when you are located in Canada and connected to the Public Mobile with the purchase of the international long distance add-on. Roaming outside of US is not available. Of course there is no roaming in Canada as the network has nation wide coverage.

@Lieux sorry for mass correction, but I think they were all made within a couple minutes of each other, meaning people started typing before the first one was posted.

The only country addons are all for the US. When you get to Aruba you should get a local prepaid plan, it would likely be cheaper than any rate you would get from any company anyways. A quick internet search shows local plans for under $5cad a month including data.

Thank you everyone for your kind responses.

I kind of figured that but thought I would ask because I am new to public mobile.

With Rogers and Bell also hiking roam like home the local sim cards for talk & text are looking better and better anyways.

Kokomo

The Beach Boys

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo
That's where you want to go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go
oh I want to take you down to
Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique

We'll put out to sea and we'll perfect our chemistry
And by and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon…
