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.
When I went to change our plan to the one I outlined above, I found out that you have to have a "global" phone to get most of the plans, including that one and the $5 special that people are talking about. I don't have a global phone.
So I was left with $30 for 100 minutes of talk and 100 mb data. That's not a lot of talk time, but extra minutes are billed at 10 cents/minute, which is tolerable.
Extra data is billed at $10/100mb, which is way high and somewhat uncontrollable, so I'm using the satellite dish for all internet.
I just hope Verizon drags their feet a little and doesn't turn off CDMA-only phones in Canada on September 1 on the dot.
One thing I have noticed in Toronto is the relative abundance of working pay phones. I see them once in a blue moon in the U.S., and I've seen a bunch here, and I even saw someone using one. Kind of amazing.
