Setup
Set the eSIM up before you fly to Canada
Set up your eSIM before you travel. Install it once from the link in your email, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.
On iPhone (iOS)
- After purchase, open the confirmation email and tap the install link — the eSIM adds itself (iOS 17.4+). Older iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR from the same email.
- Label the plan (e.g. “vigxo travel”) and set your home line to keep calls/SMS.
- Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses the local partner network, not your home carrier.
On Android
- Tap the Android install link in your email (recent Android) — or Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
- Download the profile and set vigxo as your Mobile data line.
- When you land, turn on data roaming for the vigxo line so that line can use the local network.
Good to know
- Works on eSIM-capable phones (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Older or carrier-locked phones may not support eSIM.
- Install before you fly on Wi‑Fi — you only need to enable it when you land, no signal required to set up.
- Most plans are data-only: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over data. Check the plan card.
- Prices are final at checkout. Full refund before you install the eSIM.

Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure. The list above shows the best-priced plan for each size and validity; the count here includes every plan.
Regional plans that also cover Canada
25 regional plans include Canada. The widest covers 127 countries — worth it if Canada is one stop of several, rather than the whole trip.
Regional coverage starts at $14.99 for 3 GB over 1 day.
How eSIMs work in Canada
A travel eSIM for Canada is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Canada, turn on data roaming for that line so it can use Rogers Wireless, Telus on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM carries the data.
Most plans are data-only: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over data. Check the plan card.
How much data do you need in Canada?
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Canada plans start at $5.89 across 7 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
What do you pay for data in Canada?
A travel eSIM for Canada is a local data plan. You pay the price shown at checkout. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming off on your home SIM, so your home carrier does not add this trip's data to your bill. Full refund before you install.
Setting up your Canada eSIM
- 1. Buy a plan — your install link and QR code arrive by email right after payment.
- 2. While you’re still on Wi-Fi before you fly, tap the install link in your confirmation email — or open Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
- 3. Land in Canada, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, and you’re online.
Canada connectivity guide
Canada is the second largest country on earth with most of its population in a thin band near the US border, and the coverage map follows that exactly. The cities and the Trans-Canada corridor are well served; the north, the mountain highways and the parks are not, and the distances involved make those gaps consequential rather than annoying. Canadian domestic mobile pricing is also famously high, which is the practical reason most visitors do not buy a local SIM. This guide covers what you get and where it stops.
