newcomer phone plan
So, you’re on the move on a big new adventure to a new country. It’s exciting and scary and wonderful and overwhelming. There’s going to be new friends, new experiences, new work, and new play—but there’s also going to be the very real need to stay in touch with your old life, your family and friends who you’re leaving behind.

There are a million reasons to prioritize staying connected during an international move and, regardless of all the many reasons why, the best solution is to set up an eSIM with aloSIM newcomer phone plan.

With reliable mobile data, an eSIM will allow you to remain connected through the transition to ensure that whatever else might come your way, you’ll have connectivity as you settle in. 

Access data immediately

The biggest and most obvious advantage to setting up an aloSIM for the move is the immediate access to data. As soon as your feet are on new soil (in Canada or elsewhere at any of the 175+ countries where aloSIM provides data), you can hit the ground running to contact anyone you might need. Get updates from movers, check in with realtors or landlords, order food delivery, or get down to serious business. 

There’s no need to give a second glance to sketchy airport kiosks that might offer unreliable or over-priced mobile data options or to find a place to purchase a physical SIM card to install manually onto your device. 

Stay flexible

Don’t stress about long-term contracts when you need to focus on your short-term needs. As you settle into a new routine, you will be able to better determine what you might require, note when you have access to WiFi, and if you need more or less data on any given week. aloSIM offers multiple plans but also the extra easy benefit of being able to top up an existing plan as needed, allowing you to explore your options as you go. 

Easy install

Buy your eSIM before you’ve even left home and install it simply with the QR code provided. By getting set up in your home country, that’s one less thing you need to have on your plate when it comes to the lengthy list of tasks that will be awaiting you upon arrival. No time? The set-up only takes a few minutes and you can get going once you’re at your new home easily and without any additional hassle. 

Bonus: A free local number

With your purchase of an aloSIM for your new location, you can also take advantage of the special offer of a free Hushed online number. With Hushed, you can set your new number to match your new home’s area code to make and receive calls as a local number. Having a local number is crucial for accessing essential services, communicating with new friends or employers, and integrating into your new community. No need to worry or immediately commit to a traditional newcomer phone plan provider, giving you more time to make an informed decision if and when that might even be needed.

Go ahead … travel the world, never pay roaming charges
