Winter is almost here and most snowbirds are probably starting to think about their annual escape to the warmer weather down south. With that comes a lot of important planning, including what to do for cellular service in the USA. So what is the best option for Snowbirds?
Purchasing a US roaming plan through a Canadian carrier can cost a fortune for a very limited amount of minutes and data. There are also expensive overage charges and other penalties to worry about, which usually makes this option far too costly for most travellers.
Local cellular plans from US carriers aren’t much better. While these plans usually appear cheaper, the exchange rate and extra charges for add-ons like Canada calling can often make them more expensive. They’re also a hassle to setup, often forcing snowbirds to find a store and configure a brand new plan every time they return to the states.
Another option is Roam Mobility, a Canadian wireless company who have helped hundreds of thousands of Canadians stay connected in the USA. They even offer an appropriately named Snowbird Plan which was designed specifically for Canadians who spend long periods of time down south.
Roam Mobility’s plans include all of the features most Snowbirds want in a US cellular service, including unlimited nationwide US and Canada calling, global text messaging, voicemail, caller ID and more. There’s also the option to add high-speed 4G LTE data if desired. All for one of the lowest prices in North America.
Roam Mobility’s plans are prepaid and billed in Canadian dollars so there are never extra fees or surprises. They also give customers the ability to pre-schedule their plans before they leave Canada and assign them a dedicated USA phone number to use whenever they’re in the states.
To get started with Roam Mobility, all that’s needed is one of their Travel SIM cards which sell for $9.95 CAD. To learn more, visit www.roammobility.com/snowbirds.
