Moving to a new country is exciting, but it also comes with a lot of questions, especially when it comes to staying connected. Many international students and newcomers wonder whether they’ll need a new phone number, how to choose the right plan, or how to make sure they have service as soon as they land. And as we’ve mentioned in other guides, mobile service is one of the first things people look for when preparing their journey to Canada or the USA.
That’s why at PhoneBox, we focus on making this part simple, stress-free, and fully supported. Thanks to our strong network of trusted global partners and our active role in the international education community, students don’t have to figure everything out alone; we give guidance, support, and reliable communication from day one.
A Strong Global Network of Trusted Partners
One of the greatest strengths of PhoneBox is the worldwide community we collaborate with. Today, we proudly work with over 2,000 trusted partners, including:
- Study abroad agencies
- Language schools, colleges, and universities
- International education organizations
- Travel and relocation agencies
- Insurance providers
- Community organizations supporting newcomers
These partners guide thousands of students and newcomers every year. Thanks to this collaboration, people do not face their journey alone. They receive trusted information, clear guidance, and access to reliable communication solutions even before they travel.
Supporting Students in Canada and the USA
Most of the students and newcomers supported by our partners are preparing to start a new chapter in Canada or the United States. Our goal is to make sure they feel confident, informed, and supported from their very first day.
By working closely with partners and institutions, we help ensure that when students arrive, they already have:
- A simple and reliable mobile solution
- Strong coverage
- Affordable plans
- Helpful support
- Peace of mind knowing they can connect immediately
Being connected from day one helps with safety, communication, navigation, school communication, and staying in touch with family back home.
Building Real Connections Through Conferences and Networking
At PhoneBox, we believe strong partnerships are built through real presence and communication. That is why we actively participate in international education conferences, orientations, and networking events such as ICEF, where agencies, institutions, and organizations from around the world work together to support international students.
Being present at these events allows us to:
- Build long-term, trusted relationships
- Listen to real challenges faced by students and partners
- Share updates and learn from international education insights
- Strengthen communication and collaboration
This continuous connection helps us stay aligned with the needs of the international education community.

Partners From All Around the World
We proudly collaborate with partners across Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Canada, and the USA.
This means students receive guidance in their own countries, in their own language, and from organizations they already trust. Even before traveling, they already have support, information, and solutions available.
More importantly, many of these partners specialize in students who are planning to study in North America. So while our reach is global, our support is focused exactly where students need it most.
Practical Support for Our Partners and Their Students
Our collaboration goes far beyond providing mobile plans. We work closely with partners to ensure they have everything needed to support their clients effectively. This includes:
- Clear onboarding tools
- Informative guides and useful resources
- Dedicated assistance
- Webinars and training sessions
- Continuous updates
- Support materials they can confidently share with students
This ongoing collaboration helps partners feel supported and ensures students receive accurate information and easy guidance.
Why These Partnerships Matter
Moving to a new country is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Having reliable communication is one of the key elements that helps students and newcomers feel safe, supported, and connected. By working with trusted partners worldwide, staying active in international education spaces, and providing ongoing training and resources, PhoneBox helps make this transition simpler and more welcoming.
Our global partnerships, local presence, and commitment to student experience allow us to proudly support thousands of newcomers every year, helping them start their journey confidently in Canada and the USA.
