SIM card for Canada/US
|
|
| fedorova@eecs.harvard.edu 2006-10-12, 10:33 pm |
| Hi,
I am moving to Canada, and I have a GSM phone. I am looking for a SIM
card that is cheap in Canada as well as when roaming in the US. I will
live in Vancouver: they have two GSM providers there, Fido and Rogers.
Both have ridiculously expensive rates when roaming in the US ($1 for
local calls, and close to $2 per minute when calling back to Canada). I
won't be travelling to the US often enough to justify buying a US-local
card (such as from T-mobile) - I will probably go US there every 6
month, so if I don't the US SIM card for 6 month it will expire.
Does anyone know of a SIM card that would address my needs?

| I have a T-Mobile SIM and a Rogers SIM I can sell you.
Both are brand new and never activated.
Email me at michel-2000(AT)myway.com (you know how to correct my email
address...)
I'm located near Montreal.
Thanks
Michel

There aren't any. Get a T-Mobile SIM when you're in the US, it's $100
to buy 1000 minutes and it won't expire for a year.
