I am planning to travel to the Dominican in January, can I still use my phone there? I know text won't work but will I be able to use wifi for email etc?

@RC25Your phone service will not work there but your wifi should work as long as you find a wifi spot that allows you to access it.

PM only offers roaming in the US. You could purchase a sim like Gigsky or use wi-fi apps like TextNow, Whatsapp, or Skype.

Standard Public Mobile plans only cover Canada. International Add-Ons only cover the United States and the British Virgin Islands

Here is a link to the Public Mobile coverage map: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/coverage

You can change the country on the coverage map from Canada, to US, to other countries to see where the US and international add-ons cover.

Here’s a link for information on the Add-Ons:

Yes, you can still use Wifi if there is a Wifi connection near you (ie. hotel).

Take your SIM card out just in case or turn data off and yes you can still use wifi 🙂

Public Mobile doesn't work in the Dominican Republic nor would Public Mobile charge even it did work. The only reason to remove the Public Mobole sim would be to insert a different carrier's sim that does work there.

@RC25 WiFi has nothing to do with your mobile data provider. If there's a hotspot, you can use it form any device with a WiFi radio, including your phone(s).
