Canadian pre paid SIM card ? Comparison site?
Upon arrival in Canada I am keen on getting a Canadian phone number / SIM card. Ideally this should be a pre-paid card, not a contract.
What I am interested in, is just the sim card, not the phone. I'd be a "bring your own device" customer. Is there a good comparison site in Canada for that? What I came up with is this one: https://www.whistleout.ca/CellPhones...al&tab=prepaid |
Re: Canadian pre paid SIM card ? Comparison site?
I don't know any comparison sites, but I think it's because so few people go for "pay as you go" SIM cards here. Most carriers have credit that expires very quickly (usually within a month) which is a big part of the reason why.
The exception is 7/11's SIM cards, credit on them lasts a whole year. So this might work for you. https://www.speakout7eleven.ca/ |

Many of the prepaid $100 payments will last 12 months before expiring - with any remaining value 're done' if you put another $10 to $100 on it... look for annual plans / pay by the year.. such as this https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/prepaid-plans
There are a few comparison sites :) https://www.cellphones.ca/cell-plans/prepaid/ https://www.offerhub.ca/cell-phone/b...ans-in-canada/ https://www.comparecellular.ca/compa...and-sim-cards/ https://www.ratehub.planhub.ca/?utm_source=ratehub#/ https://mobility.costco.ca/en/rate-p...ompare/?pid=21 If you want a more in depth look a the deals on the company websites :D https://www.google.ca/search?q=prepaid+plans+canada |

It's say then a contract with bring you own device might be the better option. The I get a sim card and the number.

Really depends how much you plan to use the phone whether you should go contract or not. |

Public Mobile is good - prepaid but can be set up to autornew monthly. Data is limited to 3G speeds though so that's something to be cognisant of. I use it for my eldest daughters cell & its fine for that. If she wants to watch videos then she can wait until shes connected to Wifi!

I second Atlantic XPat's comment regarding Public Mobile. I signed up about a month ago, no trouble, SIM arrived about a week later (so you need an address) and $15 bought me 100 minutes talk time (Canada wide) plus unlimited international texts and pictures in or out. Once activated, I signed up for auto-renew which gave me a discount of $2 per month. They are part of the Telus network and claim to have the best coverage.
$15 for 100 minutes & unlimited International Text (publicmobile.ca) |

Yea, I've used Public for years, I'm on the unlimited minutes/texts and 5gb data for $40. It's an alright deal considering Canadian phone plans.

I've used Koodo prepay for years. You can buy a SIM card on Amazon, or in one of their mall kiosks. $15/month for unlimited texts and then you buy boosters for data and minutes.If you're making or receiving international calls, you'll need a seperate booster. The boosters don't expire. No issues with service.
