Ok experts.....talk to me like i am a 5 year old - slowly and don't use too many big words
Last time we were in The US, i called Telus and added on the US 30 day packages for phone/text/data. IIRC, total cost was approx $75? Weeks later i got my bill......close to $300!!!!! The data/roaming charges were insane even with the add-ons
Obviously i don't want this to happen again. So here is the situation:
I want to be able to text DH & the kids as well as folks back home, use gmail and also access the web. Not really concerned with using the phone.
I have an Iphone4 with Telus - under contract for another year or so.
The kids have ipod4s so would like to be able to text them and they want to surf the net.
DH has a company BB.
I have an old BB (i think it is the curve?)
What is the least expensive way to do this?
Unlock the Iphone through Telus & then pick up a sim card here or pick up a sim card in the US?
Somehow get the old BB unlocked and then get a sim card?
Other??
Remember i am 5; at least when it comes to this kind of stuff LOL
