Why use an eSIM in India?
India is vast and covers everything from Delhi's markets to Kerala's backwaters, so having a local eSIM on arrival makes navigation, ride-hailing, and translation apps far easier to rely on. An India eSIM connects you to a local network at local rates as soon as you land, avoiding the daily roaming charges Canadian carriers apply.
Common Questions
Does an India eSIM require local ID registration like a physical SIM?
Requirements vary by plan. Some India eSIM plans require identity verification due to local regulations. Check the plan details before purchasing to understand what documentation may be needed.
Is coverage reliable in smaller Indian cities and rural areas?
Major cities and well-travelled tourist regions generally have solid coverage. Rural and remote areas may have weaker or intermittent signal. Check coverage details for your specific itinerary.
How much data do I need for a trip to India?
Data needs vary by usage. A multi-city itinerary relying on maps and ride-hailing apps throughout typically needs more than a single-city stay. Compare plan sizes before you travel.
Can I keep my Canadian number while using this eSIM?
Yes, but to avoid any roaming charges, turn your Canadian carrier line off entirely in your phone's cellular settings before you land. Disabling data roaming alone isn't enough, since some charges can still be triggered. Do not use Airplane Mode, as this disables your eSIM too. Use your eSIM for all data, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or iMessage for calls and messages instead; your contacts can still reach you over data. If you need to receive an OTP or two-factor text, turn your Canadian line on briefly, then off again. When you return home, turn it back on and everything returns to normal.
