DATA in Alberta Canada?
We're going to Alberta this fall - Waterton Lakes, Banff, Jasper. We have the Magenta MAX 55+ plan which provides 40gb/mo of hotspot data on our phones. Is there ANYTHING we need to do to have our ...
All you need to do is have roaming turned on in your devices settings for each device roaming in Canada. As a precaution, you can give Customer Care a call at 611 or reach out to them via Facebook or Twitter by sending them a DM to confirm your account is set to allow them to roam internationally. Just be mindful that data and hotspot allowances while traveling to Canada are significantly less than what your plan normally has in the US. I have personally been to Calgary and Banff. Very beautiful places to visit.

I found a couple sources for supposedly Canadian eSIMs (Phonebox for example) for data at fairly reasonable prices - 45GB for $65, but they have such poor reviews - more than 30% being 1 star, that I’m reluctant to trust them.
Your best option for service in Alberta is with Bell/Telus/Koodo. Telus/Koodo bring your own device policies are not very friendly though.
