Nope..you can only send and recieve texts whilst you're in Canada.

Try the free TextNow app for free texts and calls to Canada...works good as long as you have a robust wifi signal.

There is no pm service in Europe. Very cheap to get a SIM card over there and get a prepaid plan for your trip. Just Google it... as low as €5.

@Cat62 International texting means that you can send texts anywhere in the world while in Canada.

You could buy a local sim or Gigsky sim. If you have wf-fi then you could use apps like Textnow, Whatsapp, or Fongo.

Unlimited international texting means that you may text anyone in the world while you are in Canada. If you go outside Canada, then you would need roaming add-on.

As per the previous replies, it is probably less expensive to purchase a local SIM. If you search in Amazon, you’ll find SIMs for UK including Ireland. My aunt and uncle recently went on a tour and cruise and did this. The SIM had a preloaded 12gb and a local number for CAD$32. Not bad, eh? They had service immediately when they got there, so they could use Uber-like services and such, and they could text internationally too. 12gb of data was more than sufficient for the 3 weeks they were there.
