Our verdict

Travel-Wifi.ca is a prepaid reseller for travellers buying data for a trip rather than a home-market line, with a Japan Softbank prepaid SIM from CAD 21.50 and a LycaMobile USA unlimited plan at CAD 35. It rewards short stays and pay-as-you-go top-ups, and 5G is on the USA option.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The Japan Softbank prepaid SIM starts at CAD 21.50, so a short trip is covered without a monthly commitment.
  • Roaming on the Europe pay-as-you-go pack reaches 71 countries, which carries a multi-country trip on a single SIM.
  • Every plan is SIM only and 5G is available on the USA option, so nothing is tied to a handset.
  • Data rollover and hotspot sharing both come with the Europe pay-as-you-go pack.
  • The LycaMobile USA unlimited plan is CAD 35, under the €43.16 median monthly price across prepaid listings here.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and chat, so there is no phone line for faults that need a voice.
  • The seller is a reseller rather than a network, and resellers are 2.1% of the sim-only listings here, so this model sits outside the mainstream.
  • Price from ranks 200 of 258, so the entry figure is not among the lowest on the site.

Who it suits

  • Travellers on a brief trip who want a single prepaid SIM for data instead of a home-market line.
  • Anyone heading across several Europe countries, since roaming on the Europe pack reaches 71 countries.
  • Buyers who prefer Canadian dollars, as the listed plans are quoted in CAD.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants the carrier itself on the other end of a query: GETESA is a network rather than a reseller like this one.
  • Permanent lines rather than trips: Lonestar Cell MTN is a network, which suits ongoing home use where a trip SIM does not.
  • Anyone who wants to deal with the network directly: GETESA and yesss! appear as network and network sellers, whereas support here runs on email and chat.

How it compares on our data

On price from, Travel-Wifi.ca ranks 200 of 258 brands tracked here. On unlimited price it sits at 78 of 173. The entry figure is the stronger of the two, while the unlimited option sits nearer the middle of the field.

Plans and prices

The Japan Softbank prepaid SIM sets the entry price at CAD 21.50, and the LycaMobile USA unlimited plan is CAD 35. There is no introductory and renewal split here: both figures are the standing prepaid prices, so the rate you start on is the rate you repeat on a later trip.

Core features

Every plan is SIM only, so nothing is bundled with a handset. 5G is available on the USA option. Roaming on the Europe pay-as-you-go pack reaches 71 countries, data rollover is on, and hotspot sharing is supported.

The company behind it

The seller is Bright Smart Inc., based in Canada. Support runs on email and chat, with no phone line listed, which is the point where a traveller without email or chat access is stuck.

How Travel-Wifi.ca compares

Frequently asked questions

What does the cheapest plan cost?+

The Japan Softbank prepaid SIM is CAD 21.50, sold as a short top-up rather than a monthly line. The LycaMobile USA unlimited plan is CAD 35. Prices are quoted in Canadian dollars and billing is prepaid, so there is no monthly contract to serve before you travel again.

Do the plans renew at a higher price?+

Billing is prepaid across the shop, so the rate you pay at the start is the rate you repeat on a later trip. There is no discounted introductory period that turns into a higher renewal charge, which is the usual watch point with prepaid top-ups sold through a reseller.

How far does roaming reach?+

On the Europe pay-as-you-go pack, roaming is included and covers 71 countries, enough for a multi-country trip on a single SIM. The other SIMs are named for a single country, so check the destination before buying one of those.

Do I need a new handset for these plans?+

Every plan is SIM only, so no handset is bundled and the spend stays on data. 5G is available on the USA option, so a recent handset uses it there. The shop is a reseller, which means the SIM runs on a host network rather than a network of its own.

What happens to data I do not use?+

Data rollover is on, so unused allowance on the Europe pay-as-you-go pack carries into the next period instead of expiring. Hotspot sharing is supported as well, letting a laptop or tablet use the same allowance. Both sit on the Europe pack rather than being sold as extras.

How do I reach support if a SIM fails?+

Support runs on email and chat, so questions go by email or live chat. There is no phone line, which matters when a SIM fails on arrival. Because the seller is a reseller, the host network's own support is the fallback for faults on its side of the connection.

Who is behind Travel-Wifi.ca?+

The seller is Bright Smart Inc., based in Canada. It is a reseller rather than a network, so the airtime you buy sits with the host network named on the SIM. That entity name is the one to quote first if a billing query needs resolving.

How does this differ from GETESA and the other alternatives?+

GETESA is a network, so the network and its support sit inside one organisation, while Travel-Wifi.ca resells airtime on other carriers' networks. Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! are both listed as network and network sellers, which matters more for a permanent line than for a trip SIM.
