You can purchase a local sim or use Wi-Fi apps like Textnow, Skype, Fongo, or Signal.

@shaker 

Unfortunately pm does not offer roaming outside of the US. Fortunately you can call forward your pm phone number to fongo to use on both wifi and mobile data so you can virtually roam with pm and 

A local sim in most countries around the globe are cheaper than canadian prices even if pm had  any roaming outside of the US. India is exceptionally cheap in comparison probably one of the most inexpensive in the world. Depending on how long you are going for you may want to suspend your service or call forward your number etc...

 

There is a link at the bottom that expands on the info from hmmm... @shaker ( yourself?) with pricing and providers in India

 

Options for your account and service....

 

  1. You can turn off autopay and allow the account to suspend at the of your current 30 day cycle but this is your least advantageous option. Pay and reactivate by day 85 or so.
  2. If you have an account balance that exceeds your plan amount then you need to suspend via the lost/stolen feature in your account before midnight eastern on the evening of your renewal. Then on day 85 or so resume your service to pay and reactivate.
  3. Suspending via lost/stolen before midnight eastern will keep your voicemail active allowing you retrieve voicemail and any verification codes sent by phone calls. However your rewards will not be applied to your account. Moderator contact after paying and reactivating is necessary to have the rewards applied manually.
  4. Voicemail can be accessed by calling your pm number from a different phone by calling your phone # and pressing * once connected and entering your 4 digit voicemail pin #.
  5. If you don't have an account balance or enough balance to cover your plan amount you can suspend via lost/stolen after midnight but before 2 am eastern on the day of your renewal. Once your rewards have been applied (usually by 12:15 am et) then suspend your account. Voicemail access will be lost.
  6. Switching to the $15 plan with rewards helping to cover a partial or full amount of your plan allows you to call forward your pm number to your fongo number. Be sure to perform all call forwarding while in Canada. Now any incoming calling to your pm number will ring thru to your fongo number while on wifi or mobile data (w/a local or global sim card) You can access your fongo voicemail for all voicemail messages.

Most important mark on your calendar day 85 of your suspension and day 90. Do not forget when you must unsuspend your account via lost/stolen and/or pay and reactivate your service so you don't lose your phone number and account. Happy travels!

So I cannot use the Public Mobile sim in India.

But, I can get super cheap Simcard /plans in India.

Reliance Jio also offers some prepaid plans that are unique to its ecosystem. The company has multiple plans under its Freedom plans category that is high on data with no daily limitations.

Under the scheme, I can get a Rs 247 prepaid plan with 30-day validity, 25GB of data with no daily limit, 100 free SMS per day, and unlimited voice calling.

There are other companies One can get a sim card from as well. (Vodafone, Airtel).

They offer similar plans as well. Super cheap compared to Canadian plans.

 

Enjoy!

Roaming is only in the U.S. There's no roaming that works in other places.
