Pre paid sim for CA
Looking to buy online. Wifey is going for a week and just need couple of gigs to support while she is going to be outside. I could ask ATT to enable it on her prepaid sim but I thought there might be better options available...
Any thoughts if prepaid sims are available online? Not looking for anything major.

Assuming you have a phone that is compatible with eSIM, you can check out Airalo.

They offer pretty competitive rates, but they only offer data with their eSIMs, no phone number is given.

You’re already with ATT Prepaid? The $40 plan has 15 GB and works in Can, US, and Mexico.
i actually use it as a daily driver in both countries
buying a fresh sim at an American Walmart will give you more data, subject to a seasonal promotion that often returns for three months twice a year

perhaps this will suit your needs? If not, 7-Eleven has their own brand of cell service. I think you can get a tourist sim card from most of their stores.

DP -
Got a 30 day Airalo e-sim for Canada. Fairly cheap for not having to runaround.
Day 1 - everything seems to be fine.
Will update if any issues occur during next couple of weeks.
