Long term recharges or using in an island

Shubh2023 — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 20:35:42 GMT

Hey guys : )
I have a few questions in mind, which is making me curious

Firstly, can I do long recharges or keep paying for the SIM plan till I am outside of Canada, for a prolonged period of time, lets say, 6 months to a year? I wanted to keep the number active & I like PM's overall service
Secondly, can I use PM in any US/CAN/MEX islands, like the islands which are owned or under those respective countries? Like wherever we get AT&T or T-Mobile (USA) or Telcel/Movistar (Mexico), can we access it?

Thanks for your time & consideration ; )

You can set it up to come off your credit card automatically monthly. It will just keep renewing over and over again.

With regards to Mexico, I'll leave that up to someone else as I've never been to nor will I ever go to Mexico. But if you can get ATT or Tmobile, you should be fine.

Okay, sounds good!
I will keep an eye out for that, as I may go to visit my buddy in Mexico city, so thats why I was curious!
Just keep data roaming on & set it to 'auto network' selection else manually select, if necessary?

HI @Shubh2023

Yes, with Auto Network, your phone should be able to find a PM roaming partner to connect.

You only change to Manual selection if it cannot find you one or if the auto connected network is so poor that you cannot stand. From what was confirmed, AT&T is certainly a roaming partner. You will have to check and test other carriers if you need to manual connect
