did you have to activate roaming? I did when I went to NY

Great deal, does the plan include voice mail or offered as an add on as it is not listed on their site.
it does, i have it as well.
Just note it is not unlimited data, you will start getting charged after the 50GB usage until the billing period resets.
With most pre-paid accounts, you can leave roaming on all the time on your phone. So if you're not on a plan that covers you when you are roaming, it simply will not connect to the network since you haven't pre-paid for roaming.
Yeah, voice mail and call display standard.
If you're talking about Public Mobile, you don't get charged for overage, it just throttles your bandwidth.
As per the fine print under "Offer Details":
oops! good catch.

I'm stuck on a corporate plan, so I'll be looking around once I retire. But chances are, I'll probably have to stay with Rogers even though I only get 2 or 3 bars of signal strength where I live. When I tried Bell or Telus in the past, it was even worse and sometimes got no service in some rooms.
For future reference for anyone looking, www.esimdb.com is my go-to reference for esim hunting. There are always new companies out there offering promotions and deals, so don't just go with one provider over and over again assuming they have the best deal. Although my current cellphone plan with Freedom has US roaming, it gets throttled (to almost unusable) after 1 gig of USA usage, so I end up buying esims quite often when we travel, and in the last 4-5 years I've used probably 20 different providers.
We are on vacation in the near future and I've also got another esim lined up for that trip where we'll be in Aruba, Curacao, and around the Bahamas as well - an "Island Hopper" sim that cost about $20 for a week of service and 5 gigs of data across all the islands we're travelling to was hard to beat this time around.

Correct. Only for new activations, as I didn't read the above properly and found out the hard way:
However, I did see that the $35 subscription went from 60GB to 100GB, so I did that instead.
I only use 2-3 GB a month, but I did upgrade to the new offer just for bragging rights at this point.
incredible deal, scooped up 2 of these deals for family members,
one of them was previously paying 40/month with bell for less gigs, and canada calling only.
You can subscription hop at anytime with no penalty. Keep an eye on the app occasionally.

I used Airalo twice. It was OK, but the plans expire after 30 days along with any unused data. I had 2 trips to the US with a few weeks gap in between, so had to buy 2 separate plans. Last year I tried Roamless with a 20GB global non-expiring plan. There was a deal where they threw in the same amount of data on a 30-day expiring plan free, and it's smart enough to use the expiring plan first before dipping into the non-expiring. It's been about a year and I still have a balance after using it in US three times, Bermuda, and Italy last year, and will be using it in the US, Italy, Greece, and Turkiye this year.
