Canada is one of those countries well worth a visit to enjoy everything it has to offer. Considered one of the most international regions in the world, due to the large number of visitors it receives year after year, Canada offers a wealth of leisure and dining opportunities.
But what about connectivity when we travel as tourists? Traditional operators don't include roaming in their rates, which forces us to spend extra money on each connection we make. Alternatively, we can always use an eSIM, which allows us to access data in Canada at a much more balanced price and, without having to change our primary SIM, since both can work simultaneously. Below, we'll tell you everything you need to know.
Why Tourists Need an eSIM in Canada
As we've already mentioned, the main reason tourists need an eSIM in Canada is that traditional carriers don't offer international roaming in this country. Therefore, each connection significantly increases our phone bill.
One of the great advantages of this technology is that it allows us to operate in parallel with our main number. Therefore, we don't need to share a new number with our WhatsApp contacts, since we'll still be in the same groups and can participate normally. The only difference is that our phone will use the data from the eSIM we purchased and installed.
In addition, we avoid the classic problems that have always existed when we have to constantly change physical SIMs. The possibility of losing the SIM or of it suffering any type of damage is reduced to zero.
With an eSIM, you can:
- Activate data before you arrive and, this way, have internet access from the moment you land.
- Choose different plans based on the length and type of trip.
- You'll save money, since you won't pay for international roaming.
- You'll keep your number, and your contacts won't even notice.
eSIM Technology: A Disruptive Change
Aware that there are currently a large number of providers specializing in the sale of eSIMs, we've prepared a table below so you can compare all the available options.
