Figured I would ask a larger demographic of people..
I am looking for a cell phone that can be used in both the states and canada. mostly ottawa, toronto, and montreal. and mostly the NE USA. I have T-Mobile right now, and it works fine here and there. There is a roaming charge listed of $.49/ minute for canadian calls.... but I dont remember ever being billed for it?
most us numbers: (555)555-5555
as are canadian numbers.. so do they qualify as long distance?
the reason im asking is, my lil sister is going to school in toronto, but will be here for breaks/summer and such. She thinks it'll get expensive during the summer... and calling friends in the states, while in the states, on a canadian based phone... etc etc...
whats the best bet for carriers in canada? or another solution.
(blah blah who needs a cell phone, yadda yadda, i am curious as to what real people say about reception/service.)
thanks!
