HI @Dustin4 

they just come out with roaming in Mexico, please check

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans?network=BLACKFRIDAY

we still don't see roaming addon in Mexico yet.  So, if you need to get connected in Mexico, getting the Canada-US-Mexico plans is the only way

Public Mobile does not have any roaming service in Mexico. If you want to receive calls on your Public Mobile number while in Mexico, you'll need to set up call forwarding (while you're still in Canada) to another number that you can access while you're in Mexico. A suggestion would be to get a free Canadian number from TextNow or Fongo, and forward you Public Mobile number to that. Then get a travel esim or local sim for data or just rely on free Wi-Fi to access calling features via the TextNow or Fongo apps.

But if I buy a local sim I would have a different number so wouldn’t be able to receive calls from my actual number then or is that possible somehow

@Dustin4  no you cannot. You would need to get a local SIM or connect through wifi where available.
