Find the perfect plan for Canada
Staying connected in Canada
What the coverage maps do not tell you, and what you will actually use the data for.
Where the signal actually drops
Rogers, Telus and Bell cover the populated southern band and the Trans-Canada Highway reasonably well. Beyond that, Canada is mostly empty and so is its coverage: the territories, northern Ontario and Quebec, and the mountain parks have long gaps. Banff and Jasper have signal in the townsites and very little on the trails and passes.
What you will use your phone for here
Navigation, weather (which genuinely matters here), and standard app use in the cities.
Before you go
Winter driving between towns is the scenario to plan for: long distances, no signal, and conditions where being stranded is dangerous. Download offline maps and tell someone your route.
How much data you will actually need
Low to moderate.
