Pros and cons
Bitel
Pros
- Unlimited data on a fair use basis: speed drops once the high speed allowance is used up
- Coverage in 200 countries, with Bitel own network in Peru (5G) and More than 360 roaming partner networks
- 5G on Bitel's own network in Peru, plus top-ups on prepaid plans
Cons
- Hotspot sharing is not available
- Unlimited data runs at reduced speed once the high speed allowance is used up
- Prices are in PEN, so costs depend on the sol you pay in Peru
Fizz
Pros
- Coverage reaches from 200 countries on the Videotron and Freedom networks.
- Top-ups are available, and the feature set includes 5g, instant activation and carrier plan.
- Support runs on chat, help centre and community for travellers who prefer written help.
Cons
- Unlimited data is not offered, so heavy streaming and tethering sit outside what the travel plans are built for.
- The fair use policy limits partner network access to occasional or temporary use, and Fizz may block or limit that access after consecutive payment cycles of primary use.
- Support runs on chat, help centre and community only, so anyone who needs a voice line has to look elsewhere.

- Travellers who may need to top up data mid-trip, since top-ups are available.

Questions about each
Bitel
How much does Bitel cost?+
Bitel lists fees of PEN 29.90 on its postpaid plan. Prices are in PEN, so the cost you pay depends on the rate when you buy. Prepaid plans with top-ups sit alongside the postpaid option, which keeps costs flexible for a short trip.
Does Bitel have unlimited data?+
Yes, unlimited data sits among the plan features, unlimited data, 5g and carrier plan. A fair use policy applies though, so once your high speed allowance is spent the connection stays on but runs at a slower rate. Browsing and messaging carry on, while heavy streaming slows for the rest of the period.
Fizz
How much does a Fizz travel plan cost?+
Fizz lists travel plans starting at CAD 4, with a cost score of 8. Entry price is not the whole story: the fair use policy says partner network access is for occasional or temporary use only, which shapes how long a plan is meant to last.
Where does Fizz work and which networks do you get?+
Coverage reaches from 200 countries, and the service runs on the Videotron and Freedom networks. Fizz lists a global region footprint, so it suits a trip that crosses several borders rather than one city. Breadth of coverage is the strongest reason to choose it over a single-destination plan.
