I want to know if it is possible to have an international package for two months. Espacially for calls.
Thank you

Do you mean for using your service while you are outside of Canada? Roaming is only provided in the United States.

If you're asking about a long distance calling option, add-ons are one-time purchases.

If you are referring to roaming Public Mobile only has roaming add ons for the US. Outside of the US you would need to purchase a local Sim card or depend on free wifi. The workaround for roaming internationally would be downloading a voip app like textnow and choosing a Canadian phone number. Before you leave Canada call forward your pm phone # to your textnow phone #. All incoming calling to your pm phone will ring thru to your textnow phone # while on wifi or mobile data (with a local Sim card) or to your textnow voicemail.

You can send/recieve texts using your textnow number (on wifi or mobile data). If recieving pm texts is important then you can make use of a text forwarding app like Mighty Text but it requires that your Sim card remains in Canada in a working phone.

As long as you are not on a plan with a specific promotion tied to it or a grandfathered legacy plan you can downgrade to the $15 plan while you are away and schedule another change plan on next renewal back to a plan that suits your needs in Canada.

There is no 'international package' at PM.

The only out of country 'package' are various US add-ons limited to 10 days of unlimited use.

PM does not provide service outside of this continent. There are add-ons to call limited number of countries WHILE in Canada.
