Any good roaming plans for Europe that work well with Public Mobile?

sorry, PM has no roaming in Europe

you have to use local data there, or travel esim if your phone supports

(with any of those plans, you won't receive text or calls for people calling your PM number. Some people would use app like Whatsapp to communicate or VoIP app like Fongo or TextNow)

@Lee15 Public Mobile only has roaming in the US and now in Mexico. If you have access to Wifi that would be your best bet for using WhatsApp, Messenger etc or you would need to get a local SIM for the location you will be travelling to.

@Lee15 , I am not sure what you mean by roaming plan that works well with Public Mobile. Public Mobile does not offer roaming in Europe, so your phone number will generally not work there with the exception of RCS which is functional as long as you have data available. I got this local service while in EU with e-SIM option. Grocery stores will sell the p-SIM but they tend to mark up the cost. Avoid convenience stores as their markup is criminal.
