Cell Service North Shore of Lake Superior
I'm going to be vacationing along the Northern Shore of Lake Superior from Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay and beyond. I will be staying in Provincial Parks. Can anyone describe the cell phone service...

For $15.00 I can add "Canada" to my Verizon cell phone family plan.
This should give my wife and I 1000 min of phone usage and unlimited texting. So the phone will not be a problem if all works as promised by Verizon.
Now data service through Verizon is another thing entirely and that is too expensive for me. I will disable data roaming on my smartphone once in Canada.
I'm hoping to find a Virgin Mobile Canada store as soon as we cross the border and sign up for their "Data Stick" plan which provides 1G of data for $30.00. That is, if the cost of a data stick is not too high. I'm taking an older phone with me that has a sim card slot and maybe I can just buy a card teather the phone to my computer as my data stick. Not really sure how it all may work out. Knowing that the best data coverage I will get while on the North shore of Lake Superior will be 1xrtt and very slow I may just forget about data.
I guess I'll survive.
