Hi,

Concerning the new Canada-US-Mexico plans, who is the roaming partner? (Telcel, Movistar,…)

Also, calls in Mexico to Mexico or calls in Mexico to Canada are included in these plans?

thanks!

Looks like one person has used this service in Mexico.  No concerns so far.

Using ATT as partner

It's included in the plan (no extra charges on top of the plan price) and it is unlimited.

@Dunkman good find! Nice to see they clarified that incoming text will work in Mexico without a roaming plan or add-on (for OTP in particular).

Side note, but I remember 15 or so years ago using about 8MB (not GB) of data in Mexico and receiving a bill for almost $500 😅 We've sure come A LONG way.

Here is some more information:

According to FAQ, Public Mobile shares the same roaming partners in Mexico as TELUS. The specific provider you connect to will depend on your location and the available providers.

On the calling question it should included similar to the current legacy CAN/US plan (ie: able to call the US while in CAN, and while in the US can call within the US and back to CAN).  Would presume the calling features including MEX are the same. PM hasn't updated any of their website info to include this yet.

@miKe00  AT&T is one for sure could be others but it’s the only one I know for sure that works so far as these plans are so new to public mobile

HI @miKe00 

No confirmation from anyone yet.  But people on Telus confirmed they roam using AT&T.  So, for sure AT&T is a roaming partner, not sure if more than that
