VANCOUVER – Telco provider Roam Mobility has cut prices on its data-only plans in half and tripled data allowance on its Talk+Text+Data plans for Canadians travelling to the U.S.
Under the new pricing structure, data-only plans start at a penny per MB, depending on the amount of data purchased. A new 300 MB data plan that is valid for three days has been added for $7.95, and the prices of its 500MB, 1GB, 2GB and 5GB plans aimed at data-hungry travellers with tablets and smartphone devices have been reduced by as much as 50%.
In addition, Roam’s Talk+Text+Data plan, currently offered for $3.95, now provides travellers with 300 MB of data per day instead of 100 MB. The three day plan has increased to 900MB, the seven day to 2GB, the 14 day to 4GB and the 30 day to 9GB. All of these plans continue to include unlimited talk, text and free long-distance calls to Canada.
"Our new pricing and data allowance is truly the best deal for any Canadian travelling to the USA," said founder and SVP of business development Emir Aboulhosn, in the news release. "For $3.95 per day you get unlimited talk, text and 300 MB. That's 50 percent lower and six times more data than roaming packages from other Canadian carriers."
To take advantage of these plans, travellers must purchase the Roam SIM Card, compatible with any unlocked GSM phone, smartphone or tablet sold in Canada, or the dual-SIM Breeze travel phone or the Liberty Mobile Hotspot. Roam Mobility products are available at more than 1,000 locations throughout Canada including convenience stores, airports, duty-free stores, electronics retailers and travel stores.
