Our verdict on each
Fizz
Fizz suits travellers on short trips who want one plan across many countries: coverage reaches from 200 countries on the Videotron and Freedom networks, with travel plans at a low entry price. The trade-off is the fair use policy, which holds partner network access to occasional or temporary use.
SK Telecom
SK Telecom suits short trips and longer stays alike, since it pairs a carrier plan with a global roaming range and a daily charge of KRW 9,000. Set up is a physical card or a delivery by text, and support runs by phone and through a help centre. Overall score 4.5.

Pros and cons
Fizz
Pros

- 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.

Questions about each
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.
SK Telecom
How much does an SK Telecom roaming card cost?+
The entry price is KRW 9,000 and the daily rate is KRW 9,000, so a short trip stays easy to budget. Larger data cards are sold at fixed prices covering a set period. The site median price from is €5.
Is there an unlimited data option?+
Unlimited data is offered on the VIP card, though fair use applies. Usage stops at the daily allowance and then continues at a much lower maximum speed. The OnePass card instead carries a set data allowance per day.
