With winter tightening its hold on Canada, many Canadians head south to warmer climes. Known as Snowbirds, they spend up to months in the U.S. before coming home as warmer temperatures return in the spring. Roam Mobility, purveyor of roaming services for Canadians visiting the U.S., today announced a new plan designed specifically for the Snowbirds. Called the Snowbird plan, it offers unlimited talk and text and 1 GB of high-speed data for CA$39.95 per month although it must be purchased in 3 months blocks for a minimum price of CA$119.85.
“This is the best wireless deal in North America, and we’re proud to offer it exclusively to Canadians,” said Emir Aboulhosn, founder and SVP Business Development of Roam Mobility. “For Snowbirds enjoying warm weather in Florida, California and Arizona, there simply is no cheaper and more convenient way to stay connected in the U.S.”
The Snowbird plan requires a Roam SIM card which is compatible with unlocked GSM devices. Once activated online, users can schedule the date to begin wireless service. The card goes into suspended state when not in use (for up to a year) and can be reused later on, allowing customers to keep the same wireless number the next time they head south.
The Roam SIM card can be purchase at a variety of retailers and online at www.roammobility.com.
Roam Mobility Announces “Snowbird Plan” for Canadians Wintering in the U.S.
Convenient Prepaid Plan Offers Unlimited Talk, Text and 1 GB of High Speed Data for just $39.95 per Month, Saving Snowbirds Tons on Roaming Charges
VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2013 /CNW/ – Roam Mobility, the leading independent provider of roaming service for Canadians visiting the U.S., announced today that the company has released the Snowbird Talk+Text+Data plan for Canadians who spend extended time in the United States. Ideal for retirees who winter south of the border, the Snowbird plan is the best value wireless plan in North America, and it is only available to Canadians.
For just $39.95 per month, the Snowbird Plan offers unlimited talk and text and 1 GB of high-speed data. Like all Roam Mobility plans, Snowbird also offers free long-distance calls to Canada, voicemail and caller ID. The Snowbird Plan must be purchased in 3 months blocks for a minimum price of $119.85.
To take advantage of the Snowbird Plan, travelers simply purchase the Roam SIM Card, which is compatible with any unlocked GSM phone, smartphone or tablet sold in Canada. When users activate the SIM card online, they can schedule a date to begin their wireless service. At the end of the plan, when users return to Canada, the SIM card goes into a suspended state and will not expire until 365 days after the last day of the plan. Thus, users can conveniently top up their Snowbird Plan the following year while keeping the same wireless number.
“This is the best wireless deal in North America, and we’re proud to offer it exclusively to Canadians,” said Emir Aboulhosn, founder and SVP Business Development of Roam Mobility. “For Snowbirds enjoying warm weather in Florida, California and Arizona, there simply is no cheaper and more convenient way to stay connected in the U.S.”
The Roam SIM Card and other Roam Mobility products are now available at Glentel, Canada’s largest multi-carrier mobile phone retailer, and more than 1,000 other locations including convenience stores, airports, duty-free stores, electronics retailers and travel stores.
