Our verdict
Rogers suits Canadian travelers already on a Rogers plan who want a single global pass instead of a stack of travel eSIMs. The carrier is a carrier provider with coverage across 180 countries and 5G, so a multi-country trip stays on a single account.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Roaming runs on Rogers and 700+ roaming partner carriers worldwide, so a single carrier arrangement covers a multi-country trip.
- A carrier plan rather than a marketplace listing, from a company founded in 1960 and run by Rogers Communications Canada Inc..
- Reference plan prices cover the US, international trips and combined trips adding Mexico, the Caribbean and cruises.
- Listed features include 5g, instant activation and carrier plan, so setup stays on the same account.
Cons
- Unlimited data is not among its features (5g, instant activation and carrier plan), and the fair use policy draws on the data in your plan.
- Prices start at CAD 25, above $0.99 and close to $25.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only.
Who it suits
- Existing Rogers customers who would rather roam on their own bill, with coverage of 180 countries.
- Short-trip and long-trip planners (short trip and long trip) who prefer a carrier plan to a travel-only eSIM.
- Travelers whose route includes Mexico, the Caribbean or cruise ships, which the combined reference plan prices bundle.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travelers chasing the widest country list should compare Zwitchy, which covers 200 countries.
- Travelers on a tight budget: eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99, well below CAD 25.
- Anyone who needs unlimited data, which is not offered on a Rogers pass.
What data costs
Travel Pass starts at CAD 25. Reference plan prices set out a daily US option alongside multi-day passes for the US, separate tiers for international trips worldwide, and combined passes that add Mexico, the Caribbean and cruises. Longer trips sit in the higher tiers, so cost rises with the length of stay and the breadth of the region on the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Rogers Travel Pass cost?+
Travel Pass starts at CAD 25. Reference plan prices list a daily US option and multi-day passes for the US, separate tiers for international trips, and combined passes adding Mexico, the Caribbean and cruises. Rogers is a carrier, so the pass rides on an existing plan.
How many countries does it cover and on which networks?+
Coverage reaches 180 countries, with roaming handled through Rogers and 700+ roaming partner carriers worldwide. That partner spread suits an itinerary that changes direction, since the same arrangement holds across markets rather than needing a fresh plan at each border.
Is the data unlimited?+
Unlimited data is not offered, so the volume comes from the plan you already hold, and the fair use policy holds cruise ship data to a capped daily window at full speed before it slows. That still leaves 180 countries of coverage on Rogers and 700+ roaming partner carriers worldwide.
What kind of trips do the plans target?+
The plans cover both short-trip and long-trip travel (short trip and long trip) across a global footprint. Reference plan prices include the US on its own, international trips worldwide, and combined passes adding Mexico, the Caribbean and cruise ships, so the tier depends on the shape of the itinerary.
Is Rogers a carrier or a travel eSIM marketplace?+
Rogers is a carrier rather than a marketplace, and the company behind it is Rogers Communications Canada Inc., founded in 1960 and based in Canada. Because it is the carrier, roaming sits on the same account and billing as your home plan.
How do I get help with a pass?+
Help runs on chat and help centre, which means live chat and a self-serve help center. Phone is not among those channels, so questions that need a spoken line go through chat or the help center instead.
Is setup instant and is 5G available?+
Instant activation and a carrier plan are listed features (5g, instant activation and carrier plan), and 5G is available. Setup happens on the same account as the home plan, so a reader who wants a data-only eSIM activated away from their carrier will look elsewhere.
How does the price compare with travel eSIMs?+
Rogers starts at CAD 25, while eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99 and SimToIsrael at $25. The gap reflects what is bought: a carrier arrangement on the home bill against a trip-only data product, so weigh the destination and the length of stay as much as the entry price.
