PM access in Europe

[SallyHao]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Europe. I wonder will I be able to use my phone with the Public mobile services there? Will I be able to use phone calls and have data access there with PM? If so, how can I set it up? If not, could you recommend what I could use as a replacement?

Thanks a lot!

You can also use the Fongo app connected to wifi or on the local SIM data.

Hello @SallyHao 

Sadly Public Mobile only works in Canada US and Mexico. For overseas, you can look at getting something like this.

Before you leave Canada, you can download an app called TextNow and pick a local number to where you live. This way you can call back home or text free of charge using a data SIM card down there. Hope this helps. And enjoy your trip and stay safe.

no, no PM service in Europe as they don't have roaming service outside of US and Mexico

you need to buy travel esim or local sim card, and use VoIP app like TextNow to make calls

if you expect 2FA sms, you need to arrange to change the 2FA to send to email or use authenticator app instead
