Sorry @Emilymisener1 , there is no roaming service for PM in Mexico.  They cannot give you any deal.  

 

or if you meant the plan that OP now has that he/she is not using as OP is now in Mexico?  If OP is there long, he/she can manually suspend the service for a maximum of 90 days or account will be closed

PM only offers roaming in the US.  You could either purchase a local sim or use Wi-Fi apps like Textnow or Skype.

See if you can get OXXO or Telcel from local kiosk for prepaid SIM

The 300 minute international calling add on only works for calling from Canada.

You'll need a local plan as suggested above.

@Mothertucker60   International calling is for you to call other counties when you are in Canada.  What you need is Roaming BUT PM does not offer roaming service other than USA.

 

What you need is some local prepaid SIM for data access

 

If you just need to call back Canada, from where you got Wifi, download TextNow and you can call home free

@Mothertucker60...you won't be able to call anywhere once you leave Canada. You'd need to go to OXXO and get a sim and a short term plan...approx $15 CDN.
