Roaming Packs

Article banner - roaming packs

Travel with your kini SIM and keep your Canadian number while using data, calls and texts abroad. Choose a roaming pack for your destination and usage needs—no SIM swap required. 

Before you travel abroad

Steps to purchase roaming packs

  1. Check your account balance. Make sure you have enough balance to cover the roaming pack you want to purchase. 
  2. Text the pack code to 1888. Send the SMS short code for your chosen pack—for example, US15 or ROAMHK8—from your kini line. 
  3. Purchase your roaming pack in advance. You may choose to complete your purchase before leaving Canada so you’re ready to connect when you arrive. 
  4. When you arrive, enable Data Roaming for your kini SIM.  
  5. In Mainland China, manually select CMCC / China Mobile if needed. 
  6. In Hong Kong, manually select SmarTone HK/ SMC if needed. 

Remember: your roaming pack expires when your main plan ends, so check your plan’s expiry date before purchasing.

  •  
  • Continuous roaming usage in the same destination for more than 120 days may result in temporary network access restrictions in accordance with fair usage policies. If you require assistance, please contact kini customer support. 
  • Service depends on local coverage, device compatibility and roaming partner conditions.
