Cell phone for snow bird
Getting to be that time of year when an old man's thoughts turn to
warmer pastures in the south. In previous years we've taken our Telus Mobility (B.C.) phone with us and have paid dearly in some cases for roaming charges, in some cases as high as $6.00 per day. Now I'm thinking of getting one of the U.S. cell phone providers for the time we're south of the border, preferably one that would allow roaming in the western U.S. (CA, NV, AZ, NM, etc.) without exorbitant additional charges. A U.S. mailing address would be no problem. What I'm after is a plan that would not require a long-term contract, nor do I require a "free" phone. I'm not all that concerned with the amount of minutes/month as much as being able to be reached. A reasonable long-distance rate plan would also be a plus, but I'd be willing to use phone cards if necessary. I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions. Paul |
