Lowest-cost modeled eligible product or defined pack only. We do not combine arbitrary roaming add-ons. The eSIM comparison uses a limited, dated retail selection.
This edition uses 73 frozen reference packages selected from 362 qualifying fixed-data offers from 2 providers (Torisim, miesim.es), a limited catalog selection. Benchmark packages have explicit tax-included evidence. Incremental published retail charges. UK/Ireland tax-inclusive prices, Australian published consumer roaming charges and US/Canadian prices before account-specific taxes are retained as stated; tax treatment is disclosed by carrier. eSIM references have explicit tax-inclusive evidence.

No home-plan migration or consent to exceed a spending cap. At least 7GB remaining domestic data; passes do not supply a separate data bucket.

This page uses the Eligible Canada-only consumer postpaid plan, Roam Like Home enabled, sufficient remaining domestic data reference profile, the dated carrier sources and the standard trip shown in the table. It excludes the home-plan subscription. Included-roaming profiles apply only when their verified eligibility matches your plan.
For the same trip and requested data amount, we divide the carrier roaming cost per requested GB by the eSIM package cost per requested GB. Because both sides use the same denominator, the multiple is also the roaming trip price divided by the eSIM package price. A package may include unused data. We describe caps and conditions separately and do not claim equal performance.
Yes. An eligible home plan may include roaming, or a carrier add-on may cost less for the selected trip. Those results remain visible. The comparison excludes the home-plan subscription and does not assume every customer qualifies for an included benefit.
A rank requires current, comparable costs for the complete standard destination basket. Missing eligibility, unavailable source facts, an insufficient data allowance or expired checks leave a carrier unranked. An unknown price is never treated as zero.
This edition compares published carrier tariffs and source-checked retail eSIM packages. It does not use physical activation tests, measured speeds or a reliability score. Prices, coverage, eligibility and checkout terms can change.
