I will be using my Public Mobile plan (with sim card in my iPhone) while travelling to China and HKSAR, will I be able to receive calls (talk)/ text messages originated from Canada?
@Meow I understand the point you're making, but to clarify North America includes countries such as Mexico, Greenland, Costco Rica etc, which there are no roaming agreements for. You can only use PM service in Canada and the US.
So the first part of your sentence, no you won't be. 🙂 Not using the Public service. But you could forward calls and texts to the previously mentioned voip app. Then with local wifi or cell data service, answer and make calls and receive and reply to texts using the voip number (not the Public number by the way).
As per @Meow Public Mobile only works in Canada and the United States. The only real option you can do is to purchase a calling package down there in China or download an app like TextNow and pick a local number to where you live. Then while you're connected to WiFi or if you can pick up a data SIM, you can make unlimited calls and texts back to Canada FREE!
