Things we learned while driving through Canada to Alaska

AT&T has an international add-on plan for the cell phones. I used it in China last fall. $10 flat fee for 24 hours of use. You only pay if you use the phone within a given 24 hours and you pay only $10 no matter how many calls you make in that 24 hours.

So, I made a bunch of calls all on one day. Then made a bunch more a week later. $20 and I was able to talk to everyone I needed to talk to without worrying.
