PhoneBox Preloaded 15GB Canadian SIM Card |30 Days| No Contracts! 5G! Talk, Text, Data! No overage fees! Unlimited International Text! 1,000 Minutes of International Calls!

I activated our two SIM cards a week before our trip, setting the starting date to a day before our scheduled border crossing into Canada. The provider sent confirmation emails the day before activation, giving the local Quebec cell phone numbers of the two accounts.The day we drove into Canada, I switched out our SIM cards. Two restarts on my Android phone and one restart on my wife's iPhone and we were all set. No problems with coverage at all during our week in Montreal. I even made an international call and had a flawless connection and reception. Returning, I switched back to our USA SIM cards at the border, and this time it took about 5 minutes for my Android to get going, and about a half hour for my wife's iPhone (I suspect it's due to her US cell phone provider's network). 5 miles into Vermont, all was working as before.We would absolutely buy this SIM card again for our next trip!

I'm in Canada and it works!!! Before I left for Canada, I did everything they said to do in the US but my phone didn't recognize the new sim saying unknown # on my phone so I was very nervous and skeptical before I left to go to Canada. I chatted on their system support and they were a little helpful other than their advertising within the chat. Long story short, once in Canada the phone recognized the phone number and the roaming kicked in. I recommend downloading the app for phonebox.

This was my 3rd international trip this year. Anytime I travel I buy a sim card so I can get data while abroad. I installed the sim card per the instructions and got a local phone number to work. However, I could not connect the the data. I contacted customer support on my first day. After some basic trial and error they told me they reset my credentials and to go through the setup again after 24 hours. Losing a whole day without data with no other recourse is not an appropriate "solution" to me. However, after 24 hours I tried again and I still could not connect to data. I gave up completely since I didn't have the time to waste with customer service again. This sim card was a complete waste of money for me. Especially aggravating since as I stated earlier I have had two other international trips where I used sim cards without any issue. Do not waste your money on this product like I did.

I had a few concerns prior to purchasing the card. But, the Amazon community responded kindly and I decided to buy the SIM card. Here were my concerns, and what actually happened.1. Does the 30d period start from date of purchase or activation? Date of activation. I didn't activate the card for more than a month after purchase.2. I would be in Canada 2 days. Could I activate the card a day ahead of that? Yes. I got online, started an account a week ahead and I set the activation day for one day before the day I would be in Canada. At 3:30am of the activation day, I received the Canadian phone number from Phone Box. Once I crossed the border, I took out the US SIM card and put in the Canada (PhoneBox) one.3. Will I mess up removing the old SIM card and inserting the Canada one? It was very, very simple and took about 15 minutes. Half of that was removing my Otter Box. I did have to reboot/restart the phone twice for full activation, but it worked! I just put the US SIM into the envelope that had held the Canada one and stowed it for my return.4. Will I only have data? Or, will I be able to make calls and send text messages too? I could make and receive calls and text messages to/from the States. My phone apps worked flawlessly, without WiFi, using only 0.5Gb of data during my stay.5. Will I be able to put my old SIM card back in when back in the States. And, would it work? It was easy to put the US SIM card back in too. Had to restart the phone twice again and it worked. This time I did it out of the trunk of my motorcycle at a US gas station. It took about 15 minutes total.6. Would the Canada SIM work in the US once back? It worked for about 5 miles into the US, but then no coverage. This was exactly as anticipated.The network was Rogers and I had 5G coverage the whole way. I even rode the ferry and had a strong enough signal for all my needs during the two hour trip. This card did more than I expected and I will certainly be purchasing again for my next Canada trip.
