Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Canadian phone number for my trip?
Most options on our list provide data-only plans. However, if you need to make calls or receive texts, CanadianSIM offers a Canada-specific eSIM that includes a local number, unlimited calls, and international texting.
Can I get an unlimited data plan for Canada?
Yes. Maya Mobile provides unlimited data plans with flexible durations, and Holafly offers unlimited data plans that don't use fixed data caps.
What if I only need a small amount of data for a short trip?
Airalo is a great choice because they offer flexible plans ranging from 1GB to 20GB. Nomad also offers tiered plans and in-app top-ups if you prefer a pay-as-you-go approach.
Is there an option for long-term travel without monthly fees?
Keepgo offers lifetime data plans that are valid forever and don't feature auto-renewal. This is a good choice if you want to avoid recurring subscriptions.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot with a Canadian eSIM?
Yes, Vodafone Travel includes hotspot functionality with their 25GB Canada plans. Most other providers focus primarily on mobile data for the device itself.
