Traveling to Europe

I am traveling to Europe, actually Ukraine, to volunteer my assistance. I am guessing that my account will not work from Europe, but can I get confirmation? If not, I will have to get a new Sim card from a carrier, maybe in Poland, before I cross the border. Can someone let me know if this is true?

@Norm76036  Check out giffgaff.com; they are supporting service in Ukraine. 

Here's the article for accessing assistance from giffgaff:

Send me a private message if you want a SIM. I will mail it to you, or order one yourself for delivery to Canada here:

You can do prepaid sims in Europe, relatively cheap...especially compared with Canada

Your account will expire and close after 90 days from your renewal date if you do not make a payment. As long as you make a payment around the 85th day it should be good.

@Norm76036   PM does not have roaming service over there.  They only have roaming in US

 

Try to get local prepaid data plus VoIP app (like TextNow) for voice calls

 

You can even get the local  prepaid data from some mobile shops here.  Some of these sim works for multiple European countries there

Public Mobile only works while you are in Canada or the US with add ons.
