Hello
What do i need to do, in order to use my phone in Mexico?
My current subscription has unlimited international text and a 500 one-time Int'l LD bonus, is there anything else I need to add to the subscription, to ensure usage in Mexico?
Thanks

Any idea if they will get service in Mexico. I see Freedom Mobile now has a Canada-usa-mexico plan for $35
50 GB Unlimited talk and text. Paying the same with PM for Canada and USA . don't really want to change. BUT..

I understand that only works from Canada to Mexico and not within Mexico. Telcel is the way to go along with What’s App. Renewing a Telcel sim will cost 200 peso(about 16.00 cdn ) for 30 days and you get unlimited calls and about 3 gigs of Data. What’s App allows people to call you on your Mexican number when they have Wifi.

can't spend all day on the beach...i might burn ! I dunno if they even offer data only plans at Telcel. I do know that esim isn't available on the pre-paid plans...only the hard sim. I'm not sure the cost of travel esim or where to get them. I've been using TelCel for trips to Mx. I get to keep the same number as long as I re-up the plan at least once every year. It's a good deal for travellers to Mx...we can call/text most any number back home. If someone at home wants me to call them, they can text me and I'll call them right back.

HI @hairbag1 so, you are enjoying the sunshine in Mexico now and still care your PM buddies here ? LoL
is TelCel chip cheaper than those eSIM?

I've been in Mexico for a couple of months now. I put my PM account to Lost / Stolen to stop renewals from occurring. When I got to Mexico, I stopped at Kiosko (or OXXO) and bought a TelCel chip and a 30 day plan for under $20 Cdn. I can phone most any US, Cdn and Mx number as well as text. I have 3GB's data to use too. When I get home, I'll RESUME my PM service...( as long as it's not been suspended for more than 89 days as it's deactivated at day 90.)

You can also use WhatsApp in Mexico for free calling and texting through wifi.

You cannot do anythign as PM does NOT provide service outside of USA/Canada.
LD minutes you have are to be used FROM Canada ONLY. This is NOT service available to be used outside of Canada's borders.

HI @Cheryle_P
sorry, PM does not have roaming service in Mexico. So, there is no way to use your phone number in Mexico
a kinda workaround is to get local data sim card or travel esim for data in Mexico. Then pair it with free VoIP app TextNow to make and receive calls and text using Mobile data or Wifi. The VoIP app will assign you another 10 digits Canadian number, you can use the app to make the calls and text
