I will be travelling in Europe for 30 days using an esim card for data. I would like to use my Public Mobile account to send/receive emergency phone calls to/from Canada. Is this possible? Outrageously expensive? Other options?

You need to purchase a local SIM there or you can also use WhatsApp for free calling and texting when connected to wifi but both parties must also have this app to work.

Hello @WOK
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.
