Pros and cons

Pros

  • The entry prepaid plan is the cheapest in the list at CAD 40, and it carries the largest data allowance offered.
  • Sim only service and an esim are both available, so what you buy is a data profile and not a phone with a package attached.
  • No credit check is required, which matters if you are sorting out a line while visiting rather than moving.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is not limited to a single channel.

Cons

  • Hotspot sharing is not offered, so a laptop or tablet cannot be fed from the line.
  • Billing is prepaid, so there is no monthly invoice to spread the cost across and each period is paid for up front.
  • It sells as a reseller rather than a network like GETESA, so you are not buying straight from the carrier's own operation.

Who it suits

  • Travellers landing in Canada, IN and BR who need data for a fixed period rather than a local contract.
  • Readers who cannot pass a credit check or would rather avoid one, since none is required here.
  • People who want the Chatr network and are comfortable buying through a reseller rather than a network seller such as GETESA or yesss!.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing hotspot sharing, since hotspot sharing is not offered.
  • Shoppers after a handset, since the plans are sim only, and readers who would rather buy straight from a network such as Lonestar Cell MTN.
  • Readers who want a network seller to handle the account, since GETESA and yesss! both sell as networks while this brand is a reseller.

Core features

Sim only plans are sold here, so you bring your own handset, and an esim is available rather than a physical card. Hotspot sharing is not part of the service, so a second device cannot share the connection. No credit check is required to start, which keeps the sign up short.

The company behind it

The seller is Canadiansim Inc, based in Canada and founded in 2019. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so there is more than one route to reach the same team, and questions about a plan go to the seller rather than to the host network.

How CanadianSIM Prepaid compares

Frequently asked questions

What does the entry plan cost?+

The entry prepaid plan is the cheapest in the list at CAD 40, and it comes with the largest data allowance offered. The longer prepaid plan trades part of that allowance for a longer term, so what you pay per gigabyte depends on how long you expect to need data and how much of the allowance you will use.

Do I need a credit check to get a plan?+

No credit check is required to sign up. Plans are sold on prepaid billing, so the period is paid for rather than assessed, which suits readers with no credit history to offer and anyone who would rather not put a check through at all.

Which network does the service run on?+

The plans run on the Chatr network, and the seller is a reseller rather than the network operator itself. Sim only service and an esim are both part of what you get, so the deal is a data profile and not a phone with a network attached.

Can I share the connection with a laptop or tablet?+

Hotspot sharing is not included on these plans, so a laptop or tablet cannot share the connection. What comes with the line is a sim only esim on the Chatr network on prepaid billing, so it is worth checking what the second device needs before buying a period of data.

Where can I use the plan?+

Coverage runs across CA, IN and BR, with service delivered on the Chatr network. The entry price of CAD 40 is quoted in Canadian dollars, and because the plan is sim only with an esim there is no handset or delivery step tied to the line itself.

How is the plan paid for?+

Billing is prepaid, so a period is paid for before it is used and there is no monthly invoice to keep track of. On the comparison prepaid is the more common shape, with 82.3% of listings prepaid against 60.1% on contract.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help can be reached through more than one route. The seller is Canadiansim Inc, based in Canada and founded in 2019, and questions go to that seller rather than to the Chatr network directly.

How does the entry price compare with other brands here?+

The entry prepaid plan starts at CAD 40, and across the 258 brands ranked on price from the brand sits at position 250. Read that ranking next to the allowance you need, since a higher entry price here comes with a larger data allowance.
