If I go outside of Canada, can I still received the text message? Before I was using Fido, I still can receive the text when I go abroad. Not sure if PM had the same funtion.

My local call was a short test of huh whadyaknow it works. A second from Canada was a yup it works ok bye. The third was a 2 minute call of a more chatty test.

EDIT: I don't think you need to keep it quiet. Other loopholes have been posted in the community and never patched.

International non-US? And how much to use phone elsewhere?
@Anonymous $12 a day for Easy Roam (full access to your plan features for 24 hours at a time) or pay-per-use rates for outbound texts, calling, and data--incoming texts are received free of charge. EDIT: sorry this info is for Koodo , not Fido . I believe the costs are the same for Fido, but substitute "Fido Roam" for "Easy Roam"
@ShawnC13 yeah this suprised me when I saw @Anonymous post that on another thread recently. Officially you're not supposed to get any services without add-on(s). We all know that incoming texting works anyway. I had no idea that incoming calls work. I wonder if it's a fluke/error, or a common experience? I've yet to hear anyone else say this worked for them, but maybe they're just keeping quiet!
1. Once again I didn't do my homework.
2. I called my number from a local in-state phone and twice, one each from two provinces all on different days.
If it should be kept quiet then I'm happy to start editing.

@missorange yes, this is a limitation of PM: zero service outside of Canada and the USA.

That's been my recent experience in the states. Incoming texts and calls . No outgoing or data. I scanned for and connected to AT&T and roaming went on. I haven't seen any charges. I don't expect to see any charges.
Other countries. I doubt any connection will happen to get anything.
And it's not like I receive a bunch of texts and calls anyway.
@Anonymous, you were able to receive calls without a US romaing addon? That is a new one that I hadn't heard of yet. I had heard people getting texts but never calls before. Very interesting.
