Port # to VoIP

[bshnth29]

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 😍

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 😃🤗
