Communication in the parks, cell phone question

If we seperate we just plan on using imessage. The packages Bell offers are ridiculous.

Another vote for ROAM. We got the one phone unlocked and were able to use that one for data etc. The rest of us switched to iMessage. That worked the best as there were 4 of us with phones!

Plus now that we have the ROAM card anytime we go to the US we can just pay for a package and use the same phone number.

I did a US package one time with Bell when I went on a business trip and wanted to be able to keep in touch with the kids and DH back at home.....ran out of data the FIRST day!!!! ROAM's data is way better...never had an issue!

We're driving down on Sunday morning. Both DW and I have unlocked phones. Originally I planned to use ROAM Mobility and we are in the process of switching her to WIND. WIND service is only good in major urban centres but at $35/month for unlimited texting/province wide calling and data it was a no brainer. We can then add on unlimited US Roaming for data/text and 1000 minutes calling for the month for $15.

I since decided to get a SIM card for WIND instead as a pay as you go. Bought a 1 month plan for $60 but have unlimited everything for a month. If I don't switch to wind then I am likely to use Roam Mobility the next time.
