Traveling the globe? Save money by opting for a local cell phone plan.
Last updated:
Canada has some amazing prepaid SIM card deals, some of the best in the world. Call rates are low, speeds are fast and roaming is cheap. However, once you take that cell phone abroad with you costs can skyrocket. Using your cell phone plan on vacation just doesn’t make sense when the rates are so high!
A top tip for keeping down costs is to switch your cell phone provider to a local SIM card to take advantage of local tariffs, plans and deals. Local cell phone plans could save you large sums of money, and will allow you to surf the internet, access social media and talk to family and friends at a much cheaper rate.
