Cell phones are something we use daily for work or to stay connected to all of the people you want to stay in contact with. Therefore, you want a working phone by your side at almost all times. When living abroad it is quite high up on one’s list of necessities, somewhere between having a bed and toilet paper.

It should be a pretty straightforward process. After all, what can go wrong with going to the provider booth and requesting to be their customer? I mean, isn’t that the dream of every carrier, to have someone come and want to pay for their services? Well, apparently not, and to answer the previous question, what can go wrong? Everything. First, the guy behind the counter doesn’t really understand that you don’t want a new phone device, just a new SIM card. Then when you finally settle the matter by putting the box with the new phone (maybe a bit too forcefully) back on the shelf, your own phone can’t recognize the Canadian SIM card. With an explanation consisting of I and don’t and know, you set off to get a similar scenario in most of the other provider shops, only to meekly return to the first guy and buy the phone you so vehemently declined three hours prior. Next time I am opting for buying a box of pigeons.
