Hey there @Big,
Thanks for your post.
As Lucky Mobile is a prepaid carrier, your services will only function while in Canada.
Safe travels. ☺

By the way, while I lived in various countries in Europe, I always had prepaid services. And I was always able to use my European numbers in North America and Asia, so being a prepaid carrier does not mean you cannot offer roaming services. There is nothing special about "prepaid" over "postpaid" for the roaming services.
In fact, having a prepaid account is even better!
1) If I prepaid, say, $100 before a trip to Japan, as soon as I run out of the prepaid amount of $100, I won't be able to do call/send texts, but the service provider won't lose money as the money had been already paid.
2) On the contrary, if I go on the trip with a postpaid account, I can spend $1,000 while in Japan, and never pay the bill (e.g. I moved to Japan?), so the provider can certainly lose money with the postpaid customers but never lose money with the prepaid customers.
So, being a prepaid service provider is not an excuse for not offering the roaming services. It could be offered as an addon.
Lucky Mobile should really look into this if they want to expand the market. There is no reason Lucky Mobile should only offer services restricted to Canada territory.
