Canadians shopping for a new wireless plan this Boxing Day can find a $35 per month plan with 100GB of data that works in both Canada and the United States. The offer is available in-store at Best Buy and applies to plans from Bell, Rogers, Telus, and Virgin Plus, as noted on its website.
The deal is limited to new activations and is not being matched by existing providers. Customers already with one of these carriers will need to port out and activate a new line to qualify for the Boxing Day pricing. Try switching to a prepaid line (such as Chatr, Lucky or Public Mobile), then switching back to Rogers, Telus or Bell.
For those comparing alternatives, Telus-owned Public Mobile is currently offering a $40 per month plan with 100GB of Canada-US-Mexico data as part of its Boxing Day promotion.
Freedom Mobile also has a $40 plan with 100GB of Canada-US data, which includes an additional 15GB of Roam Beyond data, though that offer requires a three-month commitment.
But this $35/100GB Canada-US offer does not beat the Telus Reddit deal, which takes it down further to $25 for the same plan.
With multiple carriers ‘competing’ on large data buckets and cross-border usage, the $35 Best Buy deal stands out as one of the lowest-priced Canada-US options available this Boxing Day from the main wireless brands of Rogers, Telus and Bell.
