PhoneBox Canada Weekly Prepaid SIM Card | Choose one of The 7 Days Plan | 5G | The Best Plan for Travelers!

I was in the U.S. and had a trip to Canada and I wanted to have data/wifi on my phone ideally already when arriving so I could use it to call an Uber or whatever... I had read the reviews and they were mixed but I thought for this price it was worth a shot! And it worked great for me! Now just to clarify... This super cheap phone card of course does NOT include a plan, data and minutes etc.. What this card is great for is be able to already activate a number before arriving and then you can choose whatever plan works for you. I went to Phonebox online and also downloaded their app and it was easy to activate and choose a plan. One time I had a question and support was helpful and easy. If you're someone that wants to have the convenience of having a number and data while in Canada I can highly recommend. It worked great for me.

I purchased this card for a September 2024 trip to Canada. Note that this product is a Rogers Network SIM card sold on Amazon by PhoneBox. Upon arrival in Canada, I was unable to activate the card, and when I contacted PhoneBox as instructed on the brochure that came with the SIM card, the representative informed me that PhoneBox no longer has its contractual arrangement with Rogers and so cannot activate the card. They advised that I could contact Rogers to activate the card, but told me that Rogers does not offer 7 day pre-paid "tourist" plans or other comparable short-term pre-paid plans; the cheapest Rogers plan is about $50 vs the $9 or $19 PhoneBox plans advertised on Amazon to go with this card. While the wasted cost of the card is trivial, I had to deal with the aggravation due to lack of a working phone on my vacation and time lost dealing with PhoneBox. I'd give this product a zero if I could.

It works great

It works, I rate it four stars, because it didn’t work immediately, I had to be waiting for couple hours.

Installed prior to departure and made sure phone recognized the sim card. Once on the ground, turned phone on and had service! Good connections from Quebec through Nova Scotia on a cruise.

I bought this for my last trip to Canada. It was super easy to set up once I got into Canada. Follow the instructions on the card that comes with the SIM card and you should be fine. It took about 10 minutes to activate the new number and was $9CAD/week for calls in Canada, international texting, and 1 G data. Renewing after the 7 days was easy peasy.

Tried to register the SIM on PhoneBox's website. Was told by PhoneBox customer service that these SIM cards are no longer supported.

This was so easy and worked extremely well in Ontario. Not sure what problems other reviewers had seeing this up because it took less than 5 minutes and worked flawlessly. Even reminds you to renew before the week is up. Just remember to turn off auto renew and make sure your phone is unlocked.

For kid's using during short term trip. Easy to activate and works pretty well in Alberta.

It was supposed to come with pre-paid credit, but when you go to activate it, requires to pay 10 dollars. Poor service and misleading

I received it quickly. I tried it on my phone, but it did not serve the purpose I purchased it for. I gave it to my son, and it worked well for him.

Arrived on time and was super easy to activate. Will definitely buy again

So expensive.
