Is there an add-on option for phone or data services in St. Lucia?

Thanks!

Sorry, Add-on are only if you are in USA. PM doesn’t have a contract to share cell towers in St. Lucia.

You need to purchase a local SIM there.

You can use WhatsApp or TextNow app for free calling and texting through wifi.

@faye2014 sorry, PM only have roaming service for US and no where else

so, you have to use local data prepaid sim for data and use VoIP app like Textnow for voice and text

Are you going to a resort? If so they will most likely have free wifi. Download the textnow app and choose a Canadian phone #. Call forward your pm phone # to your textnow # before you leave Canada. Enable airplane mode at departure and leave it on until your arrival. You can use textnow on wifi for calling and texting. Your incoming pm calls will ring thru to your textnow app. If you feel the need to get a local Sim card then textnow will also work on mobile data. But the majority of the time you will probably have access to free wifi. Enjoy your trip!

I'd recommend using RCS services such as iMessage or Chat, depending on whether you have a iPhone or Android device.

With Wi-Fi, these are as good as having a texting plan, plus you can use FaceTime video or audio for calling.

All free and included based on device. (again, in wifi zones...)
