Is call forwarding still broken in the US?

Hi All,

I'm on my way to travel to the US for a few days with a roaming package I've already purchased, and then leave North America with a foreign SIM. I've set up phone forwarding to a Fongo number to redirect calls after my PM number becomes paperweight upon leaving the US.

I just got the scare reading older posts that having the PM number connect to a US tower "breaks" call forwarding. Rendering my number useless upon leaving the continent despite the call forwarding setup in Canada. Is that still the case? Any way to avoid that, besides capitulating that I've just wasted $30 and still need to buy a new SIM for the few days in the US?

Has anyone had a chance to test this recently?

I believe in order for call forwarding to work, your Public Mobile SIM card must remain within a service area.

Because you'll be going to US, then outside the coverages area, that Fongo call forwarding won't work because you're SIM won't be able to receive.
