Candian Pay as You Go Phone

[Techtoys]

Hi,

I am heading to Montreal for a few days and could really do with keeping in touch whilst I am there. A UK company offers phone calls from the UK to Canadian mobiles at 1p per minute, so I was thinking of getting a pay as you go mobile phone in Montreal.

Can anyone tell me if Canada has PAYG mobiles, how much they are and what I need to do to get one?

Thanks,

Andy

Well, we have Pay As You Go from Rogers (http://www.rogers.com), Prepaid from Fido (http://www.fido.ca), and Pay & Talk from Telus (http://www.telusmobility.com)...

Their websites have list of phones available, as well as further information on PAYG. :)

Hope this helped a little! ^_^

if yo already have a cell phone that is comp[atible with any of our networks, you would do yourself a favor by siply signing it up to a pay as you go plan, otherwise you would be stuck with a cell phone you have no use for after your 3 days :(

Unfortunately my current phone is a 3G mobile in the UK. As well as being the worst mobile phone provider in the UK, with about 70% dropped calls, terrible coverage and sickingly bad customer service, apparently just putting a regular SIM in the phone will break either the SIM or the phone, or both. This might not be true, but as I am trying to return the phone I don't want to find out.

Thanks for the thought though.
