Most Canadians find out what a trip cost their carrier on the bill that arrives three weeks after they get home. By then, there is nothing to do but pay it.
Cellulo built a tool that moves that moment to before you pack.
The Roaming Savings Calculator
The Roaming Savings Calculator at cellulo.ca/travel/roaming-calculator does one thing clearly: it shows you exactly what your carrier would charge for a given trip, and exactly what a travel eSIM from Cellulo would cost for the same trip, side by side, before you leave.
Here is how it works:
Pick a destination. Select your travel dates on a calendar, or choose a rough trip length if your dates are not confirmed yet. The calculator instantly shows a side-by-side cost breakdown -- your carrier's daily roaming rate multiplied by your trip length versus the cheapest available eSIM plan for that destination. The exact dollar amount and percentage saving are displayed immediately.
From there, every available eSIM plan for that destination is listed below, sorted by best value. Tap any plan to go straight to purchase.
The math that used to surprise Canadians on their bill is now visible in seconds before they leave home.
What the Numbers Actually Look Like
A 7-day trip to Europe on a Rogers plan: $18/day x 7 days = $126 in carrier roaming fees. A Cellulo travel eSIM for the same trip starts at $22 CAD. The saving is over $100 on a single trip.
A 10-day trip to the US: $16/day x 10 days = $160 per person in carrier roaming. A Cellulo US eSIM for 10 days of unlimited data: $49. Two people travelling together save $222 on one trip.
These numbers are not hidden. They are on your carrier's website if you look for them. Most Canadians simply never do -- until the bill arrives.
The calculator makes the comparison unavoidable.
Cellulo Is Now Listed on the CRTC's Official Comparison Directory
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission maintains an official directory of websites that help Canadians compare wireless service providers -- a government-backed list of trusted comparison tools. As of May 2026, Cellulo is listed on that directory.
The listing is at crtc.gc.ca/eng/comm/compar.htm under the Mobile category. The CRTC directs Canadians searching for plan comparison tools to this page -- and Cellulo is now one of the destinations they find.
This matters for one reason: the CRTC's mandate is to protect Canadian consumers in the telecom market. Being listed on their comparison directory is an independent signal that Cellulo meets the standard of a legitimate, trustworthy comparison platform -- not an affiliate site, not a carrier-owned comparison tool, not a paid placement.
Why Cellulo Built This
Carriers make money from customers who do not compare. A Canadian who does not know that $18/day roaming exists will not think to look for an alternative. A Canadian who sees the number -- $126 for a week in Europe -- before they travel has every reason to spend two minutes buying a $22 eSIM instead.
The Roaming Savings Calculator is not a clever feature. It is a direct response to the most common way Canadians get surprised by their phone bill: international travel they did not prepare for.
Cellulo's mission has always been to make sure Canadians know what they are paying and what they could be paying instead. The calculator extends that to travel -- the single largest source of unexpected charges on Canadian wireless bills.
