Making phone calls while in France

How do i make a phonecall while i am in France without roaming charges?

@Fanny73 unfortunately you're out of luck with using your phone's PM wireless service while in France.  PM does not offer roaming outside of North America.  You'll have to purchase a SIM card and phone plan from a provider in France (such as Orange), and hopefully their network is compatible with your phone.  

Would definitely be much cheaper doing it this way anyways, wireless plans outside of North America are pretty darn inexpensive anyways, at least that's been my experience.

PM does not offer roaming except in the US.  You could buy a local sim or buy a sim plan through Gigsky which offers coverage for France.  If you have access to wifi, you could use apps like Skype, textnow, or Fongo to make calls & text.

@hycm53  That add-on only alows you to call from within Canada. The OP is currently in France so this will not help her.

Oh, I didn't know it. Thanks!

Cant use Public Mobile to call from France. You can get an app like TextNow that allows for free calls and text from anywhere, as long as you have a wifi signal.

Good luck and welcome to Public Mobile.

@Fanny73  PM does not have any roaming charges. If you need to make calls from France you need to purchase a local sim card.
