What Are Roaming Charges?

Roaming charges occur when your phone connects to a foreign mobile network while travelling. Instead of using your local carrier's network in Quebec or Canada, your phone uses a partner network abroad.

Many Canadian carriers charge daily roaming fees that can quickly add up during a vacation, business trip, cruise, or long stay overseas.

Example: A two-week trip can result in significant roaming costs depending on your carrier and usage habits.

An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into modern smartphones. Instead of purchasing a physical SIM card abroad, you simply install a travel eSIM before your trip.
