Service delivered as promised

As always, you deliver on your promises. You offer esim when you travel, it works. You offer no transaction fees when you travel, it works. You don't have access to your phone when you travel to login, there is an alternative and it works. Do you think I can log on BMO when abroad? No you cannot unless you pay for Rogers roaming. KOHO is the only Canadian company that does what it is promises and you must understand how fantastic this.

One thing I will say, should you be able to up the data on the travel esim to 3-4gb, the world would be yours. For longer trips, this can make a hell of a different. Or offer us to buy more data but at a more reasonable prices. Kindly explore.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're thrilled to hear that our travel features have made your international trips smoother and more convenient.

Great news regarding your data suggestion – you can actually add additional data to your eSIM when needed. We offer options to add 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, or 10GB to suit your travel requirements. This flexibility should help make those longer trips even more manageable.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for choosing KOHO.
