I'm still a bit confused. What's the cheapest way for me to use my mobile for about 10 day in Canada?
I send TRAVELON to 21300.
Does this mean I'll only pay £1.99 every day I use my mobile in Canada?
Solved! Go to Solution.

It won't make any difference as no bolt ons available for PAYG in Canada.

Costs for PAYG:
Get a local sim for data and use WhatsApp to call home.
Standard rates
Making calls | £2/min |
Receiving calls | £2/min |
Sending texts | 50p/text |
Using data | £7.20/MB |

Ok, so until I get a local sim card. Does the sending TRAVELON to 21300 change anything from the standard rates?
I saw a website where I could get local sim cards from abroad but I'm not sure it they charge you a lot more compared to going to a store in Canada and buying a local sim.

You can buy Canadian SIMs on Amazon UK. I've no idea about the price comparison, but at least you will have it when you arrive in Canada.
Enjoy your trip. 👍

@Martinakos Download WhatsApp. If you use it over a WiFi connection you can call, text, or video call anyone in your contacts who also has the app for free.
