Hello
I'll be moving to another country. I like to port my PM # to VoIP as I'll be making calls to Canadian #s. Like to pay the min monthly fee to keep access for VM and to get 2 factor authentication. Is this possible?
Thank you 😍

HI @bshnth29
what are you trying to do here?
if you decided to leave PM because cheaper cost with VoIP, then you really dont care PM service works overseas or not
but if you decided to stay, you have to make note PM has no roaming service other than US and there is no workarounds

I have Google Authenticar App. How do I add PM to it?

Appreciate the detailed reply but I have an Android. Any suggestions?

If using an iPhone, find a “spare” iPhone someplace and put your existing PM SIM in it. Log the new phone onto your iTunes account.
Then, on the new phone, go to Settings->Messages and select the “Text Message Following” option and turn it on for your existing iPhone (and iPad if you have one). Now all SMS and iMessage texts will be forwarded to your phone in another country (assuming it has an internet connection).
Next, on the new iPhone, go to Settings->Phone and select “Calls on Other Devices”. Turn it on. Turn on the devices you want to ring when your PM phone rings. Now all phone calls you receive on your Canadian number will cause the new iPhone and iPad, if selected) to ring as long as it has an internet connection.
Leave your new iPhone, plugged in to a charger, with someone you trust in Canada. Put it in Silent Mode or turn down the ringer to avoid annoyance to your host.

no it won't.
the 2FA will only work on countries that have PM's service, Canada and US. If you go to other countries, PM will not have services there and you won't receive the 2FA code. In cases like this, you will have to change to receive 2FA via other means instead of SMS, like via Authenticator app

Thank you. Will the 2 factor still work if I keep PM # and subscription and have internet access no matter where i am globally?

PM only works in Canada and US.

@bshnth29 If you port your number out to a VOIP provider, your PM account will automatically be closed.

Hiya
If I dont port over, can I buy another PM eSim and activate it on a international local phone? Will i still access to VM and 2 factor notifications (paying a monthly PM subscription)?

PM only works in Canada and the US. If you port your # then your PM account closes

Also, if I get a local phone and number from the country I'll be moving to, can I buy another PM eSim and activate it on that local phone? Will i still access to VM and 2 factor notifications (paying a monthly PM subscription) and once it's ported over to VoIP?
VoIP allows me to make calls to Canadian #s (due to work clients) without paying roaming charges and decent monthly fees. I also want to keep the PM # to access my VM and 2 factor (paying a PM monthly fee).
Not sure if any of my brilliant ideas would work here. Asking the experts 😃🤗
