Recently traveled out of Canada for a personal visit.
I am sure many people must've adopted the way described below to continue access of PM number. But describing it in case someone new reads it
- Been using fongo app and had a local number on fongo. So before flying out of Pearson airport I forward my PM number to the fongo number. This way all the calls were being diverted to the fongo number.
- fongo app can be accessed through wifi at stopover or destination airports.
- I was in India for a couple of days and bought a local prepaid sim card with a 1 gb data plan. This way was able to access fongo app all the time and continued to receive important calls on my PM number through fongo. Fongo also has a voicemail option. Calling a number in Canada through fongo was also free so did not incur any additional calling charges.
This fix worked well for me and was very cheap compared to buying an international sim card.
But its totally dependent on you getting a local sim card in the destination country.
Hoping this helps people traveling to other countries too.
