Service in the Caribbean

Shaz — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:23:24 GMT

Hello,

My question is in regards to if public mobile is linked with a cellphone service provider in the caribbean (specifically Trinidad and Tobago) like how rogers and digicell are partners if you had a rogers sim card. The two major companies down there to my knowledge is Digicell and Bmobile. I travel down quite often and noticed that my note 8 doesn't get any sort of service at all, hopefully someone knows if there is a setting I need to adjust or if i just need to buy a digicell/bmobile sim card...

No, the only roaming service offered by PM is USA.

@Shaz, it may be cheaper just to buy local sim from the airport.

Alternatively, you can download a free calling and texting app called fongo before leaving Canada and forward your calls to fongo number. You can use it wherever you have free WiFi.
