    Default Cellphone use when travelling to states?

    So I'm with telus and I know I will get ass raped with roaming charges if I use my phone there...

    so what do you guys suggest to do? Buy a prepaid service there?

    I just need something that I can call within the states and to canada with but yeah I'm not going for so long that I need a monthly plan...

    What do you guys usually do?

    Thanks for your input

    You can add different packages to your plan that will reduce the cost. I guess it depends on how much you are using it. I am with Bell and last time I traveled for work I added about 80$ in packages for minutes, text, and data so I could keep in touch with home and the office. Worked well, I didnt go over and used it as if I was at home. The cost of 80$ is alot cheaper than a couple roaming calls and data use charges.

    I bought a 40 dollar plan through Rogers when I went last time and while it doesn't give you the most talk/text it does provide reduced rates in case you go over which is handy to have.

    I just use an unlocked AT&T Gophone Sim when I'm down there.

    Hmm okay I think using the unlocked phone would be a good idea
