Dublin Ireland and area roaming

tomgirlbc — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:38:23 GMT

Any suggestions for traveling throughout Ireland, Dublin and area, mostly for maps, but or maybe there is an appI can down load with all that so I won't be roaming, not sure, if there is any kind of plan thanks

PM only offers roaming in the USA. Nowhere else.

I would recommend that you get a local SIM card when you arrive in Ireland.

PM does not have any roaming plan other than USA.

My son got Orange Holiday Europe prepaid from Amazon for his trip to Amsterdam and London last month.

You may also get a local SIM at Ireland.

Goolge maps allows you to down a map to be used offiline. For IOS it keeps it downloaded for 30 days. I used this when I was in Mexico, worked pretty well.

Downloadable detailed maps are available with the Here WeGo app. It's the one I use outside wifi zones.

BTW: If on foot, be sure to select walking for routes otherwise you may be sent the long way round via one way streets.

PM is a prepaid service, so there is no risk of any roaming charges. You can only use what has already been paid for.

You cannot use your phone for texting for in Ireland. The unlimited international texting only applies when you are in Canada. Your phone will not be able to do anything at all while outside Canada or the US.
