Quick and simple answer is - No.

PM provides service in Canada/USA with appropriate plan or Canada only + USA with US add-on.

Sorry PM doesn’t offer roaming in Asia but what you could do is get something like this:

https://www.simore.com/en/android-dual-sim-active-simultaneously-4g-router-adapter-triple-dual-sim-a... 

They have It for iPhone and Android. You leave your SIM in the router at home and it will send it to you anywhere.

You other option is to login to your account on a computer and have the 2FA sent by email to login into your account.

Meanwhile, you can use WhatsApp or TextNow app to make free calls and text on wifi.

@Gwanzi there are no Public Mobile services outside of Canada/USA. Can you use another number for the verification code, an online one. If you leave your phone in Canada, or rather your SIM card in another phone, do you have someone that can retrieve the code for you?

@Gwanzi AFAIK SMS will work in the US for inbound only without any change to account.  But for overseas, you should try using an online text system like hushed or textnow.  They don't guarantee that 2fa codes will work, so try it before leaving.

Alternatively you could see if any of your services support 2FA apps like Google or MS authenticator and eliminate the need for SMS 2FA.  I realize that not all services support authenticator apps, but it's a good idea check.
