Unfortunately Public Mobile does not have roaming services outside of Canada and the US. You would need to purchase a travel SIM card.

@JoeS17, if you have access to wifi you could use apps like WhatsApp, Messenger etc. otherwise you'd have to look into getting a local SIM card.

Hey @JoeS17

Just to add to this...

Public Mobile only works in Canada and the United States (with the purchase of roaming add on). You can not use your Public Mobile in any other country. If you wish to use cellular services while you’re in another country, you can look at https://www.airalo.com/ for affordable data plans and then download an app like Fongo and pick a local number to where you currently live. They do however charge for texting. TextNow is free calling and texting. You can use both of these VOIP programs via WiFi or on a data only SIM card.
