So, this is the time to fly again South for the winter. My trivial questions is:

- What is the best (and the cheapest) telephone system for a Canadian, while in the USA? We use home telephone while in Canada, and normally have no use for the cel, so therefore we do not have one. But on the road is another story. A couple of winters ago we purchased from Walmart a basic Track 10, or something like that. I'd prefer something with better voice quality, as my hearing is going down the drain. For international calls we use Skype (while connected to internet.)

Please advice. Thank you.

trac phone is cheap- the one problem is if you don't buy minutes after a certain time limit because u have lots left the phone goes dead and you lose

My wife has been with Tracphone on Verizon for quite a few years. She purchases a yearly plan with auto renewal so doesn't have to worry about losing her number and the minutes roll over.

She uses one of my old Verizon cell phones that has been converted to the Tracphone network through their "Bring Your Own Phone" plan. I did the whole thing online very easily. Works just about everywhere we travel and is loud enough for her to hear (hard of hearing also).
