Republic Wireless doesn't support international calling. However, you can use any Republic Wireless phone on WiFi anywhere in the world to call or text U.S. and Canadian phone numbers.1
If you’re using a phone on one of our My Choice (4.0) plans, you can also use a local provider’s SIM card while traveling as long as their SIM card and service is compatible with your phone. Just make sure to keep your Republic service line active (meaning you keep making payments) so that when you come back, your service and phone number will still work.
Additional Notes
- If your SIM type is CDMA and you travel internationally, you may experience error messages around cellular configuration. When traveling internationally it’s best to have a GSM SIM card installed.
- You can request a GSM SIM card by opening a Help Ticket
- If you're not sure what type of SIM card you have, see How to Tell If a Phone Is Active on GSM or CDMA
