As a remote working Canadian planning a van build this was super helpful, merci merci!! Ive been spending my quarantine days in Gatineau so I've been feeling that extra bond to you guys when I watch your videos 😄 love it all x
Having lived in both Canada and Australia, I know Canadian phone companies like to give the excuse of covering a large area while catering to a small population as the reason for their exorbitant rates, as you explained. But Australia has a very similar ratio of population to geographical size and our phone plans are nowhere near as expensive. Perhaps there are more aspects to this argument that I am unaware of but I am very suspicious of their reasoning. Instinctively I suspect that the real reason Canadian phone plans are amongst the most expensive on Earth is a lack or regulation in the industry. Basically, they're ripping you off simply because they can.
Yep! Exactly. My phone plan in Australia was crazy cheap VS. our dearest (NOT) Canadian plans.. This has always drove me nuts and will always do since there is no signs of changes besides what the CRTC might seay (at least in a near future)
You can keep a mobile modem plugged in the van same as you would a fixed one. This can't be an argument. I like Marie's concise presentation. Very clear, straight to the point.
Oh gosh this is wildly helpful!!!!!!! I want to be able to be a weekend warrior and take my work on the road and this certainly solved lots of concerns. I would LOVE a video on van heaters! Just to understand realistically what they can do.
@@vanlifesagas yeah!!!!!! I messaged you on insta about wanting to stay in a van and snowboard in colorado! so I am excited to learn about this whole heater thing.
I love all the graphics and attention to details you guys have done! I know it's a ton of work to make a high quality video like this, and I truly appreciate the numerous hours of work this must have taken! 🙌 Thank you!!
Maple 🍁 Syrup really is a Canadian treasure. Much like you two 🧡. Since you are back home maybe you could show us the great things about where you live, we would love it 👍🏻 Dom, you sounded quite sinister in your French lesson this week...I imagined you twirling your mustache while you were taping that..oui, oui😉 Have a great week, you two!! Hugs 🧡🧡
Such a awesome professionally produced video - a super great load of information too! I have to check out the Nomad service. In order to get free wifi from the van when we are in a city, we use a hardware device called the Ubiquiti Nanostation M2. I direct the antenna that's within the front of the van by the windows towards a Tim Hortons or a Starbucks and grab their free wifi, then my entire van and all the devices are using the free wifi! Like magic and free! I'll do a video on that soon.
@@vanlifesagas I'll save you some time Googling! Check out David Bott's video. Very informative and this is where I learned how to set up the Ubiquiti equipment. Using it now as I type, saving a ton on data charges. ruclips.net/video/WGLwwREDzNQ/видео.html
This is really helpful! I'm starting my first work-from-home in this next week or two, and hope to start remote working from a van in a year or so. Thanks for the info, and as always, I love your videos! You really make any topic fun and informative!
Oh thank god you're still doing videos! Thanks for the tips!! I'm headed out this weekend to start my full time journey on a budget so I'll start with the hotspot and graduate to the weeeee boost one day soon I hope! 😍🌈💜💚🌻🧡
Thank you for the suggestions... I will be transitioning full time to a van towards the end of this summer so this is great information to start thinking about. Thanks for sharing :)
this was soooo useful!! I'm leaving in my van in 2 weeks and just freaked out a little because I had NO idea how to manage wifi on the road. Thanks guys1!
Omg we‘re so early this time! 🙌🏻 we were so excited to know how you work from the road as we‘re also working it out atm. Also, we loved the Canada tribute segment in the middle 😂🤣 gotta love Canada! 🇨🇦 but yeah, your data plans really are hella expensive 🙈 Greetings from fellow Freelancers (soon to be Vanlifers) from Berlin ☺️
Ohhh man tell us about it! I (Marie) lived in France for a couple of months back in 2012 and my plan was the cheapest. Canada is a darn rip off for that!
That's so great thanks! That's what I used for my hastily kitted out self-contained Elgrand Van in NZ, but I will need to get the signal booster. Although I am separated from it while waiting for a visa (for my partner) for NZ so in Sicily for now soaking up the very last of the warmth of the remnants of summer. I am looking forward to your session on heating... it was so cold in July in NZ, that I heated up river rocks on my propane stove to keep me warm for the few colder hours of the night (OK so not Canada cold, just KIWI cold). And I am very aware of Canada and the ridiculous price of cellular! Unjustified I think. I could not even buy a SIM for temporary use and I had to go to Winnipeg every year for a short time for work. That was a few years ago and so maybe things are better now. Great fun video! Thanks.. love the funny French.
Oh Donna, dont worry! We'll be here every Sunday! Thanks for asking about the transition. It's been different, but we're slowly adapting! Vanessa being outside our window reminds us it's just a matter of time before we head back out there.
Yay, another funny Sunday! 5 years of French classes were never like yours, honey pumpkin love. This was VERY helpful. How much memory is best for all the travel apps? Keep your valuable humor coming, s'il vous plait! :D
If you can't get a good WiFi connection, you can also Tether your device. I'm a web developer and do that a lot. I'm on T-Mobile and it's typically 3G sometimes 4G, but I can still upload at a decent speed. Have you ever Tethered?
@@brantwilliams2464 I am still in my SUV and not in a van yet, but when I travel I can still do a lot of work via my T-Mobile hotspot or tethering. I do a lot of my work using Desktop Server. So at least if I don't have any service, I can still work locally on my machine. I haven't traveled far enough or into any wooded areas yet though.
Thanks folks! Finally someone who can explain this in a simple way. Then I can stop using smoking signals. But is it only used for Dom-estic wifi? Hehe, sorry. I felt a little merry (Marie). Bad joke. I'm blushing.
Yes the French lesson is the best thing ever! Now here’s some information for you: there is no such thing as wireless fidelity. Wi-Fi was named that because it does rhyme with hi-fi which is high fidelity but Wi-Fi has nothing to do with fidelity. It is literally just what someone named it for fun. It is just a way to refer to wireless connectivity.
Un gros merci, guys ! Je pars en van au printemps prochain (de Montréal vers l'Alaska, avec de très gros détours pour explorer le Canada et les US...) et je me posais plein de questions sur le meilleur setup wifi. Votre vidéo y répond super bien, c'est parfait ! :D
Thanks for the Nomad Telecom tip. I have been looking and no one comes close to those prices. Also, I don't want to burst your delicious Maple Syrup covered bubble but Tim Horton's is owned by a Brazilian investment firm, and adult Canadians no longer speak of Justin Bieber in polite company. 🙃
Since I started my French lessons via internet I learnt that it's either "quel"" or "quelle" depending on the noun's gender. Therefore you have to know the gender of the noun to form a correct scentence. Would be no problem for me since there is the exact same rule in my natiive language (German). If it weren't for the words that have different articles in the two languages. "Le soleil" (m) is "die Sonne" (f), the sun in English. "La lune" (m) is "Der Mond" (m), the moon in English. "Les chaussures"(f!) you have to learn by heart, even in German "die Schuhe" (m), the shoes in English. It's really confusing sometimes. ^^
Oh really? That's interesting. Didn't know German that the same. Let's make a deal: every week, you translate our French Lesson into German so we can learn German too. Deal?!
Luv watching you too, makes feel like part of the family. Since I’m a neighbouring resident in Ontario and planning a van build next summer, wondered if you had any tips for which Canadian phone companies are better for travelling across our beautiful country. I find all of them expensive ie, Rogers, Bell. Kudos to the maple syrup and Timmys shout out, what about aye......lol
Hey there neighbor! Love knowing people from back home watch our channel as well. As for Internet, Rogers was the best for us. Marie shopped a lot and they offered the best deal. Reach out to Nomad Telecom to see if they have deals or anything.
Another Van-tastic video. Funny, fun to watch and very informative. Clear concise and full of useful information. It's so great to have the Canadian information.
WoW data plans are super expensive in Canada/Usa. 100gigs/month, free calls to mobiles and fixed line, free text for 19.99€ with Free mobile in France on their 4G network. I use the hotspot system, same as you guys. But the signal booster looks interesting. Thanks for the video, always something interesting in them.
Canada is known to have the most expensive data plans in the world. It's quite crazy, considering much of the infrastructure was built with public money.
I just laugh and laugh- you two are so funny in my favorite goofy way! But really now, other than TH doughnuts on the way back from hockey practice (for you, your enfant, or your grandmere) how can Tim Horton and the Beibs compare to all the incredible mountains, rivers, - LAND in Canada? PEI? Whistler? The Sunshine Coast? The far North? Or the cities - Quebec or Van? Or for that matter the Dinosaur Museum near Calgary? And what about the incroyable Native Peoples? Such intelligent stewards of culture, medicines, history, land, and small museums... yes, we lived up there with you for awhile🙂💕. It is a little cold and dark from Jan to March- but we miss you all and ALWAYS say hello to the Canadian Geese when they fly by.. “see you at home soon, eh?”
One of good sides of living in Russia - you can get unlimited LTE for $4-5 per month without roaming. One more option - jump to latest iPad with Cellular and simply put Sim card into device.
haha, you guys are hilarious and I love how informative and structured video was. so one of the best cost effective solutions would be just to use the phone signal and boost if necessary?
Justin bieber made the list and not celine dion? Yes I am from Newfoundland, central area. It is well worth the ferry trip and could even be talked into cooking you a newfield jigs dinner, with pop tarts for dessert.😁
Actually, Dom added this warning section without telling me and I’m pretty sure there is a bit of sarcasm in there. Ha ha Ha, of course Céline Dion is a national treasure. She’s probably a global treasure.
Merci beaucoup! My husband and I went camping last week and had poor wifi service. I am an artist and a graphic designer and I teach online. On the first day we got there I was able to hotspot my iPhone, but on the last three days my bars were very low, so we had no choice but to bleme it on the trees and the rain. That being the case, we were trying to figure out if there was a way to boost our power so we can enjoy Michigan’s rugged outdoors while I work online. Your tips were very helpful, I found weBoost Drive on Amazon! Our next trip is going to be so much better! Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! How did you find your cell service while traveling in western Canada?? In our experience Rogers isn’t as strong as TELUS especially in remote areas. Rogers is great in the cities, but not good at all in the rural areas 😬
I've just started using 100GB of data and pay £34 a month for that, I was particularly interested in hearing how you use your data as I was worried about running out of data myself, after hearing how you use it it was a load of my mind.
Nice video and very useful info! I'm always wondering how vanlifers who travel between for instance EU countries handle the phone and internet issue. Do you have any idea?
I think the providers in EU countries have deals for European coverage. At least, that would make more sense than splitting the service between countries.
How is Nomad for roaming in the USA? We use a dual SIM card phone, with a Canadian provider and T-Mobile in the USA. Both are unlimited plans with throttling after 20gb.
I would love to have something like those nomad telecom in Germany. I don’t have a van yet but my static internet in the center of Berlin is hell since 3 weeks. Not one zoom call possible.
I literally was laughing so hard when I looked up my home area on the map. Cell towers not showing up at all, ones they show were not cell towers at all & a cell tower on a pile of rocks out in the water. Nope I don't think I will rely on their info. Always compare them to another just in case.
Wait, when I was in France, they called it "Le Weefeee". (spelled "le wifi" of course.) So, does that mean it's pronounced closer to the Hinglish in Kaybec? Kind of like, "Le Toaster" and "Le Chainsaw"?
@@vanlifesagas I am surprised the Frenche government allows it. I am sure that if I were born in France, my parents would not have been allowed to call me John. On any official documents.
Bonjour, en ce qui concerne le Webost vous semblez dire qu'il y a une différence de service entre le Canada et les USA. Ma question est, puis-je prendre un forfait avec Telus au Canada et une fois rendu en Floride me brancher à T&T ou Comcast? Sinon j'aurais à en acheter un pour les USA et un pour le Canada.
Une variante meilleur marché que le WeBoost, c'est d'acheter une antenne 4G et un routeur. Pour mon Alfa Network tube U4G + antenne de 60 cm + routeur R36A, j'ai payé 230 CHF, soit environ 340 CAD
In the States, I use Tmobile with unlimited 4G LTE phone data but only a 3g hotspot unless I pay extra; even then it's limited to 20gb/month. I found an app/program called PdaNet+ that turns your phone into a hotspot but hides the fact that you're using your phones 4G LTE with the hotspot. I use about 300gb/month with no issue and great speed on my laptop. It's definitely in a gray area, so don't tell your provider.
Ohhh that is so personal. We love our Mac computers because we can put everything in the cloud and share what's on our phone and iPad, but it's totally personal.
If you think Wi-Fi is expensive in Canada, you’d bê horrified if you knew how much we pay here in Brazil. And the Portuguese lesson “Qual é a senha do Wi-Fi?”
@@vanlifesagas Well, here the cell phone / wifi plans are very complicated to set up. On the link below you'll find a 50GB plan for BRL 165 (CAD 40). But it's actually 25GB. The other 25GB is to watch movies + free WhatsApp. But, don't forget the minimum wage in Brazil is CAD 245 / month. www.vivo.com.br/para-voce/produtos-e-servicos/para-o-celular/planos-pos-pago/vivo-selfie/telecine?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhZT9BRDmARIsAN2E-J0GhxoyGFDRMUb8NZKOX_Z1FQlIV-wlwd3RMGhe8V7rMEL2nnZ8JCcaAsKNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
We use a removable portable modem which is charged by the 12 battery of the motorhome. We use it in combination with a roof antenna which greatly improves 4G or 5G reception. On top of that, this solution makes it possible to capture a wifi from café/campsite and redistribute it on the interbal wifi from the van. Here is a link to the solution we bought and installed. www.motorhomewifi.com/catalog/5g/
O.K., I'm back, you can continue now. Thanx for waiting! I have to say that I am shocked after hearing what you actually have to do for work, that you were able to do it all without a Wi-Boost. Amazing!
As a remote working Canadian planning a van build this was super helpful, merci merci!! Ive been spending my quarantine days in Gatineau so I've been feeling that extra bond to you guys when I watch your videos 😄 love it all x
Ohhh Gatineau! We're so so so so close 😁
I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found you guys a couple of days ago…you’re great for a laugh, when I’m really overwhelmed with my job🤗🤗🤗

So happy to see you still here! Love you both so much!

I just laugh and laugh- you two are so funny in my favorite goofy way! But really now, other than TH doughnuts on the way back from hockey practice (for you, your enfant, or your grandmere) how can Tim Horton and the Beibs compare to all the incredible mountains, rivers, - LAND in Canada? PEI? Whistler? The Sunshine Coast? The far North? Or the cities - Quebec or Van? Or for that matter the Dinosaur Museum near Calgary? And what about the incroyable Native Peoples? Such intelligent stewards of culture, medicines, history, land, and small museums... yes, we lived up there with you for awhile🙂💕. It is a little cold and dark from Jan to March- but we miss you all and ALWAYS say hello to the Canadian Geese when they fly by.. “see you at home soon, eh?”
Of course, we have other national treasures. I think Dom was being a little sarcastic here. He doesn't like Bieber at all. Haha.
One of good sides of living in Russia - you can get unlimited LTE for $4-5 per month without roaming. One more option - jump to latest iPad with Cellular and simply put Sim card into device.
EXCUSE ME! Did you say $4-5?
Vanlife Sagas yes, unlimited LTE
haha, you guys are hilarious and I love how informative and structured video was. so one of the best cost effective solutions would be just to use the phone signal and boost if necessary?
Yeah, if you can hunt for good coverage, that’s what we would do!
My wife and I are in Ontario. be our friends please !! Love the content as always
We are already your friends guys!
❤️ You guys are so funny
Ahh thanks Sinéad 😁
Justin bieber made the list and not celine dion? Yes I am from Newfoundland, central area. It is well worth the ferry trip and could even be talked into cooking you a newfield jigs dinner, with pop tarts for dessert.😁
Actually, Dom added this warning section without telling me and I’m pretty sure there is a bit of sarcasm in there. Ha ha Ha, of course Céline Dion is a national treasure. She’s probably a global treasure.
I'm officially addicted to watching you two. So love the way you both interact and present things. BTW your dad's rock too.
Merci beaucoup! My husband and I went camping last week and had poor wifi service. I am an artist and a graphic designer and I teach online. On the first day we got there I was able to hotspot my iPhone, but on the last three days my bars were very low, so we had no choice but to bleme it on the trees and the rain.
That being the case, we were trying to figure out if there was a way to boost our power so we can enjoy Michigan’s rugged outdoors while I work online. Your tips were very helpful, I found weBoost Drive on Amazon! Our next trip is going to be so much better! Great tutorial! Thanks!
Then you must try WeBoost. Seriously, it's a game changer! You won't even believe it!
How do we find your music to download?? Love it , want to listen to it on the road traveling with our RV ???
All on Musicbed. We have a yearly subscription and buy our music there. Let's encourage local artists.
Thank you for sharing! How did you find your cell service while traveling in western Canada?? In our experience Rogers isn’t as strong as TELUS especially in remote areas. Rogers is great in the cities, but not good at all in the rural areas 😬
Honeslty, it wasn't the bad. When our Rogers wasn't strong, people with us who at Telus or Bell didn't have much more either.
I've just started using 100GB of data and pay £34 a month for that, I was particularly interested in hearing how you use your data as I was worried about running out of data myself, after hearing how you use it it was a load of my mind.
I will shoot an update on data usage soon.
Nice video and very useful info! I'm always wondering how vanlifers who travel between for instance EU countries handle the phone and internet issue. Do you have any idea?
I think the providers in EU countries have deals for European coverage. At least, that would make more sense than splitting the service between countries.
How is Nomad for roaming in the USA? We use a dual SIM card phone, with a Canadian provider and T-Mobile in the USA. Both are unlimited plans with throttling after 20gb.
If you have a Canadian plan, Nomad is amazing. They helped us tremendously when we were out in the US.
I would love to have something like those nomad telecom in Germany.
I don’t have a van yet but my static internet in the center of Berlin is hell since 3 weeks. Not one zoom call possible.
What! How come? That's horrible. How do you work?
Another technique I use on the road is to pre-plan pretty locations near cell towers using the website cellmapper.net
Ohhh that's a good one! We do use that app a lot. Thanks Kevin!
I literally was laughing so hard when I looked up my home area on the map. Cell towers not showing up at all, ones they show were not cell towers at all & a cell tower on a pile of rocks out in the water. Nope I don't think I will rely on their info. Always compare them to another just in case.
Great video! Have you got a website / email? I’d love to interact one Canadian to another. BTW ... Your interactions are really fun to watch.
Hi Bill. We sure do. You can reach out to us on Instagram or here: hello@vanlifesagas.com
You two are so entertaining! Marie if FUNNY
Wait, when I was in France, they called it "Le Weefeee". (spelled "le wifi" of course.) So, does that mean it's pronounced closer to the Hinglish in Kaybec? Kind of like, "Le Toaster" and "Le Chainsaw"?
Yes :)
Yup! You got it! French (France) people will see weefee. In Québec (Canada), we'll say wifi.
@@vanlifesagas Probably has to do with L'Académie française not wanting any words to sound remotely like English. Just a theory.
@@vanlifesagas I am surprised the Frenche government allows it. I am sure that if I were born in France, my parents would not have been allowed to call me John. On any official documents.
For a moment I thought you were going to mimic Predator: "Who is your Wi-Fi? Aaargghh!!
Hahah what? Please send reference.
@@vanlifesagas ruclips.net/video/xEvb7B4O698/видео.html
Are those Moment cases on your phones?
They sure are! We sometimes use the little wide angle lens that we bought from Moment and we love it.
@@vanlifesagas they are pretty great and make taking photos while on the hike or traveling light very easy.
I guess you should create series of videos “Learning French with Marie and Dom”
Oh gosh. Dom has been bugging me to do that. We might have to now.
@@vanlifesagas There is Coffee Break French.
Really informative and funny, you've killed me with the "fisafi"... XD
Hahah FISAFI!
Bonjour, en ce qui concerne le Webost vous semblez dire qu'il y a une différence de service entre le Canada et les USA. Ma question est, puis-je prendre un forfait avec Telus au Canada et une fois rendu en Floride me brancher à T&T ou Comcast? Sinon j'aurais à en acheter un pour les USA et un pour le Canada.
Ça dépend des deals pour les frais d'itinérance. Il faut demander à votre fournisseur comment il a préparer ses forfaits pour voyageurs!
Aha ! Vous êtes cool ! Je viens de tomber sur votre page.
It seems that as in this video 'WiFi' has become a container word for everything that you want to do with a device online:)
:)
Une variante meilleur marché que le WeBoost, c'est d'acheter une antenne 4G et un routeur.
Pour mon Alfa Network tube U4G + antenne de 60 cm + routeur R36A, j'ai payé 230 CHF, soit environ 340 CAD
Et ça fonctionne vraiment bien? Vous n'avez jamais eu de problème?
Oui ça fonctionne nickel. Le signal 4G est super bien amplifié
why can't I find Nomad telecom anywhere? i am really needing to change the Rogers infinite. It's not enough for my wifi needs either.
Hey Marcela. Reach out to them here: Email: info@nomadtelecom.ca

Bonjour, je me demande, pour les U.S.A., est-ce que vous utilisez aussi votre cellulaire? Des conseils? :D Merci beaucoup pour les vidéos!
In the States, I use Tmobile with unlimited 4G LTE phone data but only a 3g hotspot unless I pay extra; even then it's limited to 20gb/month. I found an app/program called PdaNet+ that turns your phone into a hotspot but hides the fact that you're using your phones 4G LTE with the hotspot. I use about 300gb/month with no issue and great speed on my laptop. It's definitely in a gray area, so don't tell your provider.
Oh sweet! Thanks for sharing that!
What is the best computer to use in van?
Ohhh that is so personal. We love our Mac computers because we can put everything in the cloud and share what's on our phone and iPad, but it's totally personal.
If you think Wi-Fi is expensive in Canada, you’d bê horrified if you knew how much we pay here in Brazil.
And the Portuguese lesson “Qual é a senha do Wi-Fi?”
Thanks for that Portugese lesson. But now, interested in knowing how much it is in Brazil. How much would that be?
@@vanlifesagas Well, here the cell phone / wifi plans are very complicated to set up. On the link below you'll find a 50GB plan for BRL 165 (CAD 40). But it's actually 25GB. The other 25GB is to watch movies + free WhatsApp.
But, don't forget the minimum wage in Brazil is CAD 245 / month.

The US Verizon plan only has 15 Gs and after that it's at 60% speed. I wish I had 50Gs!
Ah that's good to know. Thanks for sharing!
Voys êtes très drôles !
Merci Vincent! 😁 À dimanche prochain!
We use a removable portable modem which is charged by the 12 battery of the motorhome. We use it in combination with a roof antenna which greatly improves 4G or 5G reception. On top of that, this solution makes it possible to capture a wifi from café/campsite and redistribute it on the interbal wifi from the van. Here is a link to the solution we bought and installed.

ohh sweet. Thanks for sharing that link. Checking it out now. Has it always worked for you?
@@vanlifesagas absolutely! With the antenna, the Faraday cage doesn’t block signals, in fact we have good receptionwherr we didn’t have any before!
Wow ok
Hang On! Stop the van! Don't go "any-where"! I have 3 weeks of vids to catch up on! Including today, so 2 weeks! I'll be right back!
O.K., I'm back, you can continue now. Thanx for waiting! I have to say that I am shocked after hearing what you actually have to do for work, that you were able to do it all without a Wi-Boost. Amazing!
Hahahah you're amazing Tannis! We love you xx
@@vanlifesagas
@@vanlifesagas
Running out of battery is not an option - then get two of them, and maybe some portable batteries
Absoutely!
Now I keep hearing that MIMO antennas are better than wifi extenders.
Yeah, what are those?
FIRST...❤😁❤
Woot woot! 😁
What’s your PHD in? - if you don’t mind me asking....
Of course not, in education.
👍
lol @ national treasures.. what happened to drake
I'm alllll in for Drake, but for some reason, Marie LOVES the Bieber.
