Does Bell offer an international travel eSIM?

The short answer is no. However, while Bell doesn’t offer dedicated travel eSIMs, you can use your Bell eSIM for travel within the US and international travel with data roaming.

With Bell’s roaming-inclusive Roam Better plans, you can use the data from your account, or an extra 500 MB. Roam Better also provides unlimited international calls and texts within the US and in over 200 destinations worldwide.

Travel abroad using Bell international roaming

Bell international roaming plans include: Roam Better With Home Data, which lets you use your existing Canadian plan’s data while traveling, and Roam Better With 500 MB, which adds an extra 500 MB of data per day to your current plan.

You can choose either US coverage or international coverage for over 200 countries. Inclusions and pricing for plans are as follows.

Type and coverage	Calls and texts	Destinations	Price
Roam Better – The US	– Unlimited incoming calls – Unlimited outgoing calls within the US, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands to Canada – Unlimited outgoing and incoming text messages	– Puerto Rico, US, US Virgin Islands	$13 CAD per day
Roam Better – International	– Unlimited incoming calls – Unlimited outgoing calls within roaming destination to Canada – Unlimited outgoing and incoming text messages	– Africa, Asia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, Oceania, South America	$16 per day

You can enroll in Roam Better by texting ROAM to 8000. You can also add Roam Better to your account in the MyBell online portal or the MyBell app.

Depending on the amount of data you need, these roaming plans can quickly add up and become expensive. If you want to avoid running out of data when you need it most, you might want to consider an unlimited data eSIM from Holafly instead.
