Hi,

I am going to India for few months. I want to keep my phone number and still make and receive calls to/from canada.

Please suggest any addon available.

Thanks

Sorry, but Public Mobile willl not work outside of Canada and U.S. There aren't any add-ons avaialble. You'll have to keep in touch with people possibly with a combination of internet and a local SIM card from where you're travelling to.

Would Fongo work? Over wifi and for back and forth calls to/from Canada only??

You can not use these plans for calls in India. Your best bet would be to download a third party messaging service such as Facebook messenger or WhatsApp and call people via the app from your smart phone.

When you get there inside airport, I am sure you can buy a monthly(or whatever) sim card, put in your phone and you get a local phone.

If you don't want to use internet, you can tell everyone to call a text the new number you get when you're travelling but they'll have to pay for long distance to you call you. Texting might be cheaper.
