Case example

Luiz was in Brazil in January, 2021 and he was planning to be in Canada in May. He browsed through PhoneBox website and found an affordable plan. But he was not sure if he could know his number before arriving in Canada since he would need a phone number for ArriveCAN.

He talked to an agent from Customer Support who mentioned “You can request an activation online and we will deliver a SIM card to Brazil. You will know your number via email on the activation date.”

Then Luiz made an activation on Feb 2nd, 2021 and received his SIM card on Feb 28th, 2021. He got his number on May 4th and arrived in Toronto on May 5th; he has been enjoying the service since he arrived at the airport.
