Phone use in Barbados

[Lalo9]

Is there an add on I can purchase so that I can use my phone in Barbados?

@BKNS27 , thanks I knew that too and it’s what I meant …. But bad choice of words on my part !

thanks @BKNS27   

I want to bring that up too.  North American actually composed of 23 sovereign states

@Handy1 

Sorry not North America (Mexico and Central America are not included), only Canada and USA are offered roaming on PM.

@Nezgar- There are text forwarding apps available. Of course the account has to remain active and the sim left in a phone and on and on a charger and in Canada.

You can only forward calls to TextNow, not messages -- that is if you meant SMS/MMS, and not voicemail messages which come from voice calls...

Many banks phone based 2FA systems also allow calls as well as a text mesage, so forwarding your Public Mobile number to a TextNow number will work well if you have Wi-Fi or mobile data coverage via a local SIM in the visited country.

Sorry, @Lalo9 

Only use of a Pre-paid SIM card there will work.

Public Mobile only good in Canada, or in USA with add-on.

Sorry, PM only has roaming add ons for the USA.

Your better off getting a local sim card and plan.

Hi @Lalo9

 sorry , no  roaming addon in Barbados.

@Lalo9 NO, no service for PM outside of Canada and US. You have to buy local data sim for data

@Lalo9 @No the add on are only for USA , your best to get local sim in Barbados for the duration of your trip
