Cellular Abroad Rental Service for Canada

Going to Canada? For peace of mind, take one of Cellular Abroad's Canadian rental phones and enjoy the convenience and security of a working cell phone without an expensive roaming bill waiting for you when you return. Cellular Abroad equips all of their Canadian rental customers with the same service enjoyed by millions of Canadians every day; you get the same quality service that you get from your domestic cellular provider, but you'll pay the same rates as the local residents in Canada. Cellular Abroad offers cellular phone rentals for Canada and over 120 other countries. This is a prepaid service, which means you will never pay a bill or sign a contract; the service comes with 10 minutes of international airtime, and you can purchase more easily at local convenience stores and gas stations throughout Canada.

As part of your rental package, you are purchasing a prepaid Canada SIM card. A SIM card—also known as a chip—slips easily into a GSM phone. The SIM card is the "brain" of the phone and is what allows you to make calls within Canada or to anywhere in the world. The card is linked to a prepaid account so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. If needed, you can simply add more talk time to your account by purchasing a scratch-off recharge card and entering the unique code off the card into the handset. (If you run out of credit, you can still receive voicemail messages, but will need additional credit to retrieve them from your phone.)

Whether you are headed to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, or Winnipeg; a Canadian cell phone rental from Cellular Abroad will help you keep in touch all over the country.
