Sim card for Canada
Going through the pain of having AT&T unlock our phones, so I can switch to a much cheaper carrier here in the US. The new one, though, charges very high data rates for use in Canada ($50 per GB!) ...

When we travel anywhere we seek out free wifi. Around here where in live in the West Kootenays of B.C., free Wifi is available everywhere, like Libraries, coffee shops, Tourist Offices, city hall, grocery stores like Walmart and others, it’s everywhere. We try not to use the phone at all. We always ask the place that is offering the free wifi , what the wifi name is; so that we are not logging into some other wifi that someone may have started for theft of personal info... which has been done.
However our phone provider ( TELUS) does offer world service plan $12 per day and the USA service, which is $7 per 24 hrs after coming off airplane mode. When we do have to use the phone for making a call to our elderly parents, or making a reservation, that 24hrs that we are on our own system plan / package ... we use it to the max...we pay bills, call everyone we know, download pictures etc.... When we pay that $7 for 24 hrs of use, our package we have at home is now the same package we have in the USA.
We ( Canada) have some of the most expensive cell phone data prices / costs in the world... so be carful, up here.
