Why are Canadian telecoms so far behind the US with real unlimited data plans? Like come on, $25 for 4 MB of data with $10 overage per 1MB, or $100 for 200 MB of data and $5 overage per 1MB? I can essentially sign up for a US data plan, pay the roaming and additional charges and still come out on top of Canadian suppliers. (Wont work on the iPhone though, as data rates for foreign countries are ridiculous!) As for the phone portion, after long distance, its about a break even. It could be ideal to grab a US data plan and swap out SIM cards when calling or vise versa…. time to research other options.

I’m pondering trying the US SIM swapage out. Stay tuned.
