I am on 90 days plan. Can I buy international roaming other than USA? If so, is there any restriction of countries?

Just make sure that your phone is unlocked before leaving Canada.

Have a great trip.

@wmtpm  None of Public's plans offer international roaming. Your only option as other have already mentioned is to buy a local sim. Here is a good option that you can purchase from Amazon and you just have to insert it into your phone when you get to your destination. Good for 71 countries.

Hi @wmtpm 

I second @LovesToPM suggestion, local service is always cheaper then roaming packages from our providers. Most of packages would include unlimited North America, nice chunk of data (like 50g) and would cost under 20 euros

Get TextNow app, pick yourself a nice Canadian numbers make sure you pass it on as the alternative number to all your important contacts. Just before leaving set forwarding of all your calls to your TextNow number and disable/take out your sim card until you are back.

Is your renewal before you leave? You can suspend you're service just make sure you login back by day 85 to restart again, if you are suspended for 90 days you will lose your account together with your numbers all money and all tests lrewards that are on it.

Have a safe trip

 

Oh and one more thing, find out your options at the destination. I'm sure you can find it in any community like Reddit or redflagdeals

PM only offers US roaming. You could purchase a local sim or Gigsky.  If you have access to wifi then you could use apps like Skype,Fongo, Textnow, or WhatsApp.

Only USA roaming.

 

We’ve partnered with AT&T and T-Mobile to provide you with fantastic coverage.

Consid TEXTNOW app. You can get Canadian number in your area to call USA and Canada for free over wifi anywhere in the world you are as long as you have internet connection.. people can call that number and text you as well. They can leave you voicemail when your not online.

PM only offers US roaming add-on.  You need to buy a local SIM card when you arrive at your destination.

Nope. There's only USA roaming.

 

 

For international use, you can purchase a local SIM. And they are usually cheaper than Canadian providers.
