Getting connected

Land first.
Then install.

1. Before you fly

   Your setup details arrive by email.

   We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.

   Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.

2. After you land

   Connect to Wi-Fi. Then install.

   Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.

   Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.

   Before you go onlineSelect your travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on Data Roaming for that eSIM. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM.

   Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.

Phone checkYour phone comes first.

Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.

For the journey

Canada eSIM data for the journey

City stays in Vancouver, Toronto or Montréal use data differently from a drive through the Rockies. Save maps, accommodation addresses and important bookings before leaving Wi-Fi. Check the supported network along your actual route, rather than assuming a Canada listing guarantees service in national parks, mountain valleys or remote stretches.

Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.

Compare the available plans

Choose a fixed data allowance for your trip. Compare the total data, validity and price, then check the selected plan’s coverage and start window.

Buy Canada eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.

Vancouver, Toronto, Montréal and the Rockies

City stays in Vancouver, Toronto or Montréal use data differently from a drive through the Rockies. Save maps, accommodation addresses and important bookings before leaving Wi-Fi. Check the supported network along your actual route, rather than assuming a Canada listing guarantees service in national parks, mountain valleys or remote stretches.

For a campervan or laptop-heavy trip, estimate sharing and video-call use separately from navigation. Hotspot permission and any limit belong to the selected offer, so confirm them before relying on mobile data as your work connection.

Continuing into the USA?

Compare a USA and Canada plan with separate country plans using the same trip dates and data budget. Regional data is a shared allowance, not a fresh allowance at each border. A Canada-only label does not establish coverage in the USA, and data-only service does not include a Canadian number for ordinary calls or SMS.

These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.

Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
