Yes, both the data and core services of Roam Kabayan can be used in multiple countries, provided those destinations are listed among the eligible partner countries

 

However, only data can be used in the Philippines and abroad. Roaming calls and texts can only be used while abroad, specifically in Roam Kabayan countries.

  • Data Browsing: You will not be able to browse data. To use data, you must register for a different data roaming pack that covers your current location.
  • Core Services (Calls/Texts): These services will be charged at Pay-Per-Use (PPU) rates, based on zonal rates, and deducted from your load. If you do not have enough load, you will be unable to use core services.

Roam Kabayan only covers incoming roaming calls. If you make an outgoing call while abroad, you need to have sufficient load balance, and you will be charged pay-per-use rates.
