Is there an option to enable Public Mobile line to roam when traveling particularly in countries in Southern Africa?

HI @mrumisha No, no roaming option there

You will have to buy local data prepaid sim, then use VoIP app like TextNow or Fongo for voice and text.

Most major airports throughout the world have a kiosk that sell sim cards, cell plans and even throw-away telephones. When you get to your destination, have a look at the airport before leaving on your adventure.
