You see that I took them off the list. I think it's not a good idea that people without a Canadian bank card need to buy some local prepaid debit card first to get a plan from a provider. I mean this is an option for other providers too that now demand a local payment system for funding. But this needs to be clearly stated in the article and it's not a convenient solution at all.

I will start a list in the Basics chapter soon about cheap roaming alternatives from out of the country like US, Mexican, HK or European prepaid plans with Canada roaming. I think this can be a good choice for some travelers. Given the high price for data (and the starter) in Canada, it can be a valid bypass. This is one of the few countries where data on roaming can be cheaper than on a local prepaid SIM. Please help me to add your ideas to the list.
