We just returned from 5 weeks in Newfoundland and labrador. I'm on Verizon, like others added the 250 min/250mb "Global" plan for and extra $30/mo. Worked out great - just call the global folks when you return to the states to take the plan off, they prorate the rest of the month so you don't get dinged extra. But if you want a new phone to use in Canada, look up "The Source" stores in Canada - electronics dealers. You can get pay-as-you-go phones there, but it means a new phone number to give out to folks (same deal if you got a Canadian sim card). We found it easier to just add the Global plan. ST
