Can I receive SMS when I am in Europe?

My bank, CRA and others sends verification codes by SMS. Will I receive them when I am in Europe?

@Thomas_Meyer Please see my initial answer. PM service will not work in Europe. Not to send SMS, not to receive SMS, not to make or receive calls.

@Thomas_Meyer No, PM does not have roaming service there,  you have to rely on local prepaid SIM

 

For 2FA codes please change them before your trip, change to either email (not safe) or authenticator app (best and safest) if the systems support that

@Thomas_Meyer No. Your Public Mobile service does not work outside of Canada and USA.
