Bought the wrong plan? An unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full terms.
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.
Pay As You Go is not a plan at all. You add credit once and it comes off by the megabyte at the local rate as you use it, so you never pay for data you do not finish. Credit never expires, data pauses when the balance hits zero, and the same eSIM keeps working across every country we cover. It costs more per gigabyte than a plan, so pick this for light or hard to predict use rather than heavy days.
Add your other stops and we check whether one regional eSIM costs less.
Bell, Rogers and Telus are Canada's three national wireless providers, as the CRTC describes them. Cities are well covered, but this is a huge country and signal thins out once you leave populated areas.
Parks Canada warns that cell coverage is not always reliable in the backcountry or remote areas, and notes that satellite communicators can start an emergency response where phones can't. In an emergency, dial 911 for police, fire or ambulance.
You can get cell service at the stations on Toronto's subway and in some of the tunnels, and 911 calls work there on any carrier, according to the TTC.
Canada's Alert Ready system pushes emergency warnings to compatible phones on LTE networks. If one sounds, read it and act straight away.
