What You Get and What You Don't
When you buy from Alt eSIM, you get our travel eSIM that roams onto Bell's network in Canada. This means you can use Bell's coverage for data, but we are not affiliated with Bell. We do not sell Bell's own SIM, eSIM, or plans. Our product is a separate travel solution. For instance, if you're visiting Canada for a week, our eSIM lets you connect to Bell's network for your data needs. However, we do not provide any information about Bell's coverage quality or customer service. You should not expect Bell's official support or benefits.
Which Destinations This Applies To
Our eSIM roams onto Bell's network in Canada. This means if you're traveling to 加拿大, you can use our eSIM for your data needs. Whether you're visiting Toronto, Vancouver, or any other city in Canada, our eSIM will work seamlessly. For example, if you're on a road trip across Canada, you can rely on our eSIM for consistent connectivity. However, it's important to note that our eSIM only works in the destinations we support, and we do not cover any other countries or regions.
How to Pick a Plan Shape
When choosing a plan, you have two options: daily plans or total data tiers. Daily plans work out from US$1.76 per day, with a daily allowance of 1GB. This is ideal for short trips or if you prefer to pay as you go. On the other hand, total data tiers range from 3GB to 50GB, which is suitable for longer trips or if you need more data. For example, if you're traveling for 10 days and need 10GB of data, you might consider a total data tier. However, if you're unsure about your data usage, the daily plan offers more flexibility.
How Getting Connected Works
To get connected, you need to install the eSIM on your device. This process is straightforward and can be done through a QR code or by entering a code manually. Once installed, you can activate the eSIM and connect to Bell's network in Canada. For example, if you're landing in Toronto, you can activate the eSIM as soon as you land and start using it immediately. The connection is automatic and you don't need to manually select the network. However, it's important to ensure your device is compatible with eSIM technology before purchasing.
What Happens When the Allowance Runs Out
Once your data allowance runs out, your connection speed will drop to 128 or 384 kbps. This speed is still usable for basic tasks like browsing and messaging, but it may be too slow for streaming or downloading large files. For example, if you're in the middle of a trip and run out of data, you can continue to use the internet for essential communication. However, if you need faster speeds, you might consider upgrading your plan or purchasing additional data. It's also worth noting that the speed reduction is temporary and will be restored once you add more data.
