Any international data add-ons available?

[Oblong5000]

Hi,

I'm leaving Canada to go abroad for vacation and would like to know if there are any available data add-on plans for an active phone service. I'm browsing about the add-ons section and community threads but can't find anything like it.

Thanks

I'll just get a SIM card instead when I get there then.

Thanks everyone!

Hello @Oblong5000 

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.

You need to either purchase a local SIM or use WhatsApp or TextNow app on wifi for free calling and texting.

If you are out of Canada for more than 90 days. I would suggest you suspended your account for 88 days and subscribe your account so you can keep your old number.
