Traveling to Nicaragua

[harrison604]

Hi is there a subscription for central America? I need to have access to my phone number.

Nicaragua is the country I'm staying in the longest.

Any information would be great thanks!

Hi @harrison604 

Public Mobile only works in Canada and the United States (with the purchase of roaming add on). You can not use your Public Mobile in any other country. If you wish to use cellular services while you’re in another country, you can look at https://www.airalo.com/ for affordable data plans and then download an app like Fongo and pick a local number to where you currently live. They do however charge for texting. TextNow is free calling and texting. You can use both of these VOIP programs via WiFi or on a data only SIM card.

HI @harrison604 

then what you want to do is to get the cheapest plan, $15, then set a "Unconditional forward" to anther Canadian number.  Best option for that Canadian number is to get a VoIP app TextNow.  It works with the app and you can then make call and receive the forwarded calls on the app when you are in Nicaragua

I also want to keep my plan here maybe just call forward to new number? Would work?

HI @harrison604 

sorry, PM does not have service there.  You need to use local sim card or travel esim

What phone do you have? travel esim usually is a great and cheaper option

@harrison604  Sorry PM only works in Canada and the U.S. with US roaming add on . Your best to get a local pre paid SIM card in your destination
