What's the cheapest way to use my Sky mobile in Canada?

[TallGirl68]

I'm going to Canada for 2 weeks. I need to be able to text and call Canadian numbers while I'm there as well as have data to be ablento watch movies as there is no WIFI where I'm staying. What's the cheapest way to do this?

Canada is included within the £2 per 24 hours passport: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-mobile-roaming-passport-plus

However, this gives access to your usual package which won't include calls to Canadian numbers which are charged at International rates, I.e. £2.50 per minute and 75p per text.

Ensure your spend cap is removed or set sufficient high enough

If there's no WiFi then I'd question the availability of cellular data.

'Cheapest' would almost certainly be a local SIM, because as @PandJ2020 indicates, local call/text use is extremely expensive when using a UK bundle.

From the tariff it seems Canada is included in the 'International Saver' option (£3/month).

It might be worth enabling that as it reduces the call/text charges noticeably.
