no you won't PM has no roaming service there. PM only has roaming for US

if you need to receive text from friend, setup a VoIP app like Fongo or TextNow and use it to send and receive calls and text

You will not be able to receive calls or texts from Canada in Turkey.

PM has roaming service only in US, you need to have roaming add-on or can/us plan.

TextNow only works in Canada and USA now.

@Abel221
You can use WhatsApp for free calling and texting through wifi.

Sorry, I should rephrase my comment. You can call or text from Canada or USA internationally but can’t call or text outside of Canada and USA.

So you can call or text to Turkey from Canada or USA.

@BKNS27 you can text internationally from Canada, means you can text Turkey, but you can’t call all countries, I don’t think PM can call Turkey.

WhatsApp is great as long as you and your friends here in Canada are both using the app.

When you are in Turkey, you will need access to Wi-Fi or mobile data.

When I am traveling in Europe, I like to get an Orange Holiday eSim which provides you with an actual telephone number to allow you to make calls and texts along with mobile data. Good luck.

@EB0

I was referring the TextNow. You can call and text internationally from Canada or USA with TexNow. So you can call or text to Turkey but they can’t call or text from Turkey.
