A few months back on a FaceTime call, Mum was having some dropouts and lag. I suggested using LTE rather than Wi‑Fi, but she said she shouldn't because of her plan. Asked her what it was, and she said it's 5 GB for CA$55.
I was actually shocked. Shocked at how expensive that was, when it's possible to get 180 GB for a similar monthly cost here in Australia from Telstra, and even better pricing/quota with some dead‐easy shopping. But looking and asking around, turns out: 5 GB for CA$55 is apparently about right for Canada.
Fast forward to today‑ish, and I was looking up the situation with eSIM. (Who knew that my MVNO had started supporting eSIMs earlier this year!) A friend had recently mentioned the cost of a local SIM in the US versus roaming as well, and I was reminded of Truphone and GigSky, who had for years partnered with Apple for on‑device travel data plans.
And what do you know: Truphone offers 5 GB for US$29, or about CA$40. A global travel SIM offering better value than a local SIM in Canada.
What the fuck is going on over there. Do Canadians (on prepaid) know they're being charged the same as or worse than roaming?
