Koodo Easy Roam Travel Pass vs eSIM | VoyageSIM

Independent comparison · Travellers from Canada

Already with Koodo and comparing a Koodo Travel Pass with a prepaid travel eSIM? These services are different: a carrier roaming pass can include standard calling and texting, while VoyageSIM offers data-only service.

Quick answer

According to Koodo, eligible travel passes may provide use of monthly-plan data and included calls and texts for a defined number of days. VoyageSIM offers a separately purchased prepaid data eSIM for compatible unlocked devices. Compare the entire trip cost, not only the opening price.

Koodo travel pass or VoyageSIM?

Koodo travel passes

Depending on the destination, Koodo lists pass durations such as 3, 7, 14 or 30 days. Eligible travel passes can include traditional calls, text messages and access to your monthly-plan data. Activation and expiry rules vary.

VoyageSIM travel eSIM

A separate prepaid mobile data allowance with a listed destination and validity. No standard cellular calls, traditional SMS or local phone number included.

How to compare the complete trip cost

  1. Check Koodo self-serve for eligible destinations and available travel passes.
  2. Calculate the complete cost for your travel dates, including after any pass expires.
  3. Compare a VoyageSIM plan with sufficient mobile data for your usage and trip length.
  4. Account for standard calling and SMS if you need them: a data-only travel eSIM does not provide those services.
  5. Check how the roaming controls on your main Koodo line will be configured.

Keep your Koodo number while using VoyageSIM data

On a supported dual-SIM phone, install VoyageSIM as the mobile data line. Review roaming and data switching on your separate Koodo line. Calls, SMS or mobile data on Koodo may still trigger charges under your agreement.
