10 Best Cell Phone Plans in Canada of 2026

This list is for Canadians comparing the big three carriers (Rogers, Bell, Telus) with their flanker and prepaid brands and with regional carriers on monthly price and data. We compared documented features and published prices on each carrier's own plan pages in November 2026. Rankozo weights value at 40%, features at 35% and ease of use at 25%. Prices are in Canadian dollars (C$) for a single line when you bring your own phone, and we state the condition behind each price, such as auto-pay or a home internet bundle. Telus is not ranked because its plan pages blocked our checks. Plans and promotions differ by province, so confirm the price for your postal code before you switch.

   Best forSingle-line buyers who want the most data per dollar across Canada

   Public Mobile sells prepaid subscription plans online and lets you change plan from its app at any time. The price ladder is short and easy to compare: 1GB for C$22, 5GB for C$24, 10GB for C$28, 35GB for C$30 and 50GB for C$35, all with unlimited Canada-wide talk and text. The 50GB plan is the first tier with 5G speed, and it is the strongest data-per-dollar deal among the national plans we checked in November 2026. Three Canada-US-Mexico plans start at C$40 for 70GB and add 1,000 international minutes. Every plan earns 2% back in Public Points, which you can put toward your monthly payment or add-ons. The trade-offs are real: the cheaper plans run at 4G speed, help is self-serve through articles, a community forum and chat rather than stores, and the plans page is built for people who bring their own phone.

   • ✓C$35 buys 50GB at 5G speed, the most data at that price among the carriers we checked
   • ✓Points can lower your monthly payment
   • ✓eSIM activation in minutes

   • ✕Plans under C$35 run at 4G speed
   • ✕Support is online through help articles, community and chat
   • ✕No phone financing on the plans page

   Cheapest plan:

   C$22 a month, 1GB

   Best value tier:

   C$35 a month, 50GB at 5G

   Rewards:

   2% back in Public Points

   Contract:

   Monthly subscription

   Bottom line: Public Mobile is the best choice for most Canadians on one line because C$35 a month buys 50GB at 5G speed with no contract. Pick a big-three carrier only if you need stores or phone financing.

   Best forTravellers in Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Ontario who want roaming included

   Freedom Mobile builds every Total Freedom plan around travel. Its plans page says data works in Canada, the US and Mexico, and each tier adds a data allowance in 120+ Roam Beyond global destinations with unlimited talk and text there too, at no additional charge. The ladder runs from a 10GB plan with 1GB of global roaming data up to 250GB plans with as much as 50GB abroad. After the allowance, data continues at reduced speeds. Freedom also says all wireless plans are covered by its Price Freeze Promise, so the plan price you sign up at stays put. The listed prices, from C$35 a month for 10GB in November 2026, include a Digital Discount, so read the terms before checkout. The site's province picker lists Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario, which limits who can sign up. Because the prices load in the browser, our price check is still pending.

   • ✓Even the 10GB plan includes US and Mexico data and 1GB in 120+ destinations
   • ✓Price Freeze Promise covers every wireless plan
   • ✓Tiers up to 250GB for heavy users

   • ✕Listed prices depend on the Digital Discount
   • ✕Site serves Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Ontario
   • ✕We could not verify the plan prices from a static page

   Bottom line: Freedom Mobile is the best choice for frequent travellers because every Total Freedom plan includes data in Canada, the US and Mexico plus roaming in 120+ destinations. Check that it serves your province first.

   Best forQuebec and Ontario users who want rollover data and a custom plan

   Fizz replaces a fixed plan list with a builder. You choose data, 4G LTE or 5G network access, minutes and coverage, and the price updates on screen. In November 2026 the default Quebec configuration was 40GB at 5G with unlimited talk and text for C$35 a month. Fizz's bring-your-own-phone page lists four features most carriers do not offer: unused data rolls over to the next month, members can gift data to each other, the My Rewards program gives free data from your first day, and you can change your plan yourself in your account with no fixed-term contract. The eSIM is free and there is no connection fee for bring-your-own-phone customers. The site's region picker covers Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Because prices load in the builder and vary by province, we could not verify a quote from a static page, so the price check is pending.

   • ✓Data rollover means you do not lose what you paid for
   • ✓No connection fee when you bring your own phone
   • ✓Change your plan yourself in your account

   • ✕Price depends on province and options, so there is no single list price
   • ✕Self-serve service model
   • ✕Prices load only in the plan builder

   Data rollover:

   Yes

   Data gifting:

   Connection fee:

   Provinces on site:

   Bottom line: Fizz is the best choice for people whose data use swings month to month because unused data rolls over automatically. Build a plan in your own province to see the real price.

   Best forPostpaid customers who want 5G and a free perk without big-three prices

   Koodo sells both postpaid and prepaid service. Its postpaid page in November 2026 listed 20GB at 5G speed for C$45 a month and 60GB for C$50, with both prices including C$10 a month in discounts, among them the auto-pay by bank account discount. Each of those plans lets you pick one free perk, such as 3-Day Easy Roam International, and swap it later. Data is Shock-Free, which Koodo uses to mean no surprise overage bills, and plans include unlimited Canada-wide minutes and unlimited international SMS. If you buy a phone, the Tab spreads its cost over 24 months. Koodo Prepaid starts at C$22 per 30 days with a 500MB auto top-up bonus, and C$35 buys 30GB at 4G speed with auto top-up. A physical SIM costs C$15, though eSIM activation is available.

   • ✓Free perk you can switch at any time
   • ✓Postpaid and prepaid options from one brand
   • ✓Phone costs can be spread over 24 months with the Tab

   • ✕The C$45 postpaid price needs auto-pay by bank account
   • ✕C$15 SIM charge for a physical SIM
   • ✕Prepaid plans run at 4G speed

   Postpaid entry:

   Prepaid entry:

   C$22 per 30 days

   Free perk:

   SIM card:

   C$15, or eSIM

   Bottom line: Koodo is the best choice for postpaid customers who want 5G and a free perk because 20GB costs C$45 a month with auto-pay. Choose Public Mobile if you want more data for less and do not need postpaid billing.

   Best forBring-your-own-phone users who want postpaid 5G with hotspot

   Fido sells postpaid plans with no contract when you bring your own phone. In November 2026 its plan builder listed Canada-wide 5G plans of 10GB for C$40 a month, 20GB for C$45 and 60GB for C$50, each after a C$5 monthly bill credit for automatic payments with a Rogers Bank credit card or pre-authorized debit. Without the credit the prices are C$45, C$50 and C$55. A Canada-wide plan with US-Mexico roaming starts at C$55 for 60GB. All plans include 5G speeds up to 1 Gbps, unlimited Canada-wide talk and text, unlimited international texts, enhanced voicemail and, newly, hotspot access. Fido's per-gigabyte pricing is weaker than Public Mobile or Freedom at the low end, but its 60GB tier is competitive and you get postpaid billing, stores and phone financing through the Fido Payment Program.

   • ✓Hotspot included on bring-your-own-phone plans
   • ✓US-Mexico roaming plan available from C$55
   • ✓Enhanced voicemail included

   • ✕Listed prices assume the C$5 auto-pay credit
   • ✕10GB is small for C$40
   • ✕A C$40 device setup charge may apply when buying a phone

   Entry plan:

   C$40 a month, 10GB 5G

   Auto-pay credit:

   C$5 a month

   Top speed:

   Up to 1 Gbps

   Hotspot:

   Included

   Bottom line: Fido is the best choice for postpaid users who want stores and hotspot because 60GB of 5G costs C$50 a month with auto-pay. Lighter users get more for less from Public Mobile.

   Best forPostpaid users who want hotspot and travel passes

   Virgin Plus keeps its postpaid lineup short. In November 2026 its plans page offered 20GB for C$40 a month and 60GB at up to 1 Gbps for C$50 a month, both with hotspot access and international texting, for new activations that bring their own phone. Both prices include an autopay credit that requires pre-authorized debit set up within 31 days of the order. Members get access to the Virgin Plus Member Benefits program, and travellers can buy 3, 7, 14 or 30-day travel passes instead of paying roaming by the day. Virgin Plus also points to its suspicious call detection, which it says flags spam and fraud calls and identifies spoofed caller IDs. Prices match Fido closely at 20GB and 60GB, so the choice between the two often comes down to which network and perks you prefer.

   • ✓Hotspot and international texting on the entry plan
   • ✓Travel passes in four lengths
   • ✓Spam and spoof call flagging built in

   • ✕Prices need pre-authorized debit for the autopay credit
   • ✕Offers are for new activations bringing their own phone
   • ✕No plan cheaper than C$40 on the postpaid page

   Entry plan:

   C$40 a month, 20GB

   60GB plan:

   C$50 a month

   Autopay:

   Pre-authorized debit required

   Travel passes:

   3, 7, 14 or 30 days

   Bottom line: Virgin Plus is the best choice for postpaid users who want hotspot and travel passes because 20GB with hotspot costs C$40 a month with autopay. It matches Fido on price, so compare the perks.

   Best forQuebec households that also take Videotron internet

   Videotron's Canada plans all include use in the US: 25GB, 100GB or 150GB of data with unlimited calling and texting in Canada and the US and 5G+ network access. Regular prices in November 2026 were C$50, C$55 and C$60 a month. Discounts drop them fast: C$10 off when you also subscribe to Videotron internet or TV, C$5 off each line when you have more than one mobile plan, and plan-specific discounts, which take the 25GB plan to C$34 and the 100GB plan to C$35. Videotron says every mobile plan has its price locked in for life. A Canada-US-Mexico plan with 200GB and a Canada and International plan covering 110+ destinations are also on offer. The catch is that the best prices assume a bundle, and the site is built for Quebec customers, so it is not a national option.

   • ✓US use included on every Canada plan
   • ✓Lifetime price lock
   • ✓Large bundle discounts with internet

   • ✕Best prices need internet and a second line
   • ✕Plans page is aimed at Quebec customers
   • ✕Regular prices start at C$50

   Entry plan:

   25GB, C$50 a month regular

   Lowest bundled price:

   C$34 a month

   Price lock:

   For life

   US use:

   Included

   Bottom line: Videotron is the best choice for Quebec households with Videotron internet because a 100GB Canada-US plan falls to C$35 a month with bundle discounts and a lifetime price lock. Without internet, its regular C$50 entry price is less compelling.

   Best forHeavy users who want top 5G+ speed and bundled perks

   Rogers prices its 5G+ plans high and then discounts them. In November 2026 the 5G+ Lite plan with 60GB was C$80 a month before incentives and C$55 with Rogers internet or TV service and the auto-pay discount. Essentials adds 100GB plus data, talk and text in the US for 24 months for C$85 before incentives, or C$60 bundled. Popular and Ultimate move to unlimited high-speed data, calling to 27 countries and, on Ultimate, priority network access and use in 64 destinations. Every tier lists 5G+ speeds up to 2 Gbps, Rogers Satellite and StreamSaver, which saves up to 25% on streaming subscriptions. Additional lines cost less, from C$40 a month on Essentials for a fourth line. The value case only works for households already paying Rogers for internet.

   • ✓5G+ speeds up to 2 Gbps, tied with Bell for the fastest advertised here
   • ✓Satellite messaging and US data on higher tiers
   • ✓Extra lines from C$40 a month

   • ✕C$80 before incentives for 60GB
   • ✕Best prices need Rogers internet or TV
   • ✕Auto-pay required for the advertised rate

   Entry plan:

   Price before incentives:

   C$80 a month

   With internet and auto-pay:

   C$55 a month

   Top speed:

   Up to 2 Gbps

   Bottom line: Rogers is the best choice for heavy users who already have Rogers internet because 100GB with US use falls to C$60 a month bundled. Single lines pay C$80 or more.

   Bell's entry plan in November 2026 was Select, with 100GB at up to 2 Gbps, unlimited calling, texting and data in Canada and the US, and 5GB a day of US data roaming. Its regular price was C$85 a month, falling to C$60 once internet bundle, autopay and promotional credits are applied, and to an average of C$52.50 per line across four lines. Ultra moves to unlimited data at the fastest available 5G+ speeds with US and Mexico roaming, calling to 27 countries, HD video and up to 10,000 Aeroplan points over 12 months. Bell's plans are feature-rich, especially for US travel, but at the regular price they cost more than double Public Mobile's 50GB plan. They make sense mainly for households already paying Bell for internet.

   • ✓US roaming built into the entry plan
   • ✓5GB a day of US roaming data on Select
   • ✓Up to C$35 a month off additional lines

   • ✕C$85 a month before credits
   • ✕Lowest price needs Bell internet and autopay
   • ✕Select streams video in SD

   Regular price:

   C$85 a month

   With credits:

   Top speed:

   Bottom line: Bell is the best choice for Bell internet customers who travel to the US because Select includes 100GB usable in Canada and the US for C$60 a month with credits. Everyone else pays C$85.

    Best forPrepaid buyers on a tight budget who do not need 5G

    Lucky Mobile is a prepaid brand that keeps the plan list short and the price low. In November 2026 its best seller was 30GB for C$35 a month, made up of 25GB plus a 5GB bonus each month for new customers who register for auto top-up. Smaller plans start at C$22 for 500MB and C$25 for 5GB, and a 50GB plan costs C$40. All plans include unlimited Canada-wide calls, unlimited Canada-wide and international texts, voicemail, call display, call waiting and mobile hotspot. Data runs at 4G LTE speed, and Lucky says speeds drop to up to 128 kbps once the plan's data is used. A one-time C$10 SIM card charge may apply. International calling add-ons start at C$10 a month for up to 200 minutes to region A. Lucky also warns that 3G/HSPA devices stop working from March 1, 2027, so check older phones.

    • ✓No contract and no credit check prepaid
    • ✓Hotspot included
    • ✓5GB bonus each month with auto top-up

    • ✕4G LTE speeds only, no 5G
    • ✕One-time C$10 SIM card charge may apply
    • ✕Data slows to 128 kbps after the allowance

    Cheapest plan:

    Best seller:

    C$35 a month, 30GB

    Network speed:

    4G LTE

    SIM charge:

    C$10 may apply

    Bottom line: Lucky Mobile is the best choice for prepaid buyers who want 30GB without 5G because it costs C$35 a month with auto top-up. Public Mobile gives 50GB at 5G for the same price.
