CrazyCanuxx...we are from Northern Ontario and have Bell but rates are ridiculous out of country. We are presently here for 7 weeks and we bring an old cell phone and go to an Asian grocery store and pay $10 for a Sim card and get started with $10 for local and long distance calls that are very reasonable. They install the Sim card and load the $10 for calls and you can top up anytime and you have immediate access for present account status. You are given a local number. Peli Deli (Simpson Bay) is most helpful. We stayed at Sapphire for 1 week when we arrived and the Jorden Village Asian grocery store set us up. For us, very inexpensive and we use the phone to call taxis, for restaurant reservations and have available for emergency calls.
