I'm on a pre-paid plan right now, and I keep forgetting to bring the bill in to expense it. Even pre-paid, I'm paying less than what any major Canadian carrier would charge me on contract.

I have to admit, I'm running out of reasons to dislike Android. The UI has caught up significantly in ICS, and it seems like the carriers are getting better at handling OS updates. The fragmentation still bothers me a little, but that's becoming a problem for iOS and Windows Phone now, too. Maybe my next phone? Carson!

I've heard of roam before, but you're the first person I know that's actually used it. Glad to hear it works! Now I just need to find some service that does the exact opposite for when I visit Canada :p Hey James!

Always been enough for me Hi Dan,

Want to do some research for me before I get there? I'm open to non-iPhones but I kinda like them... :) I looked up iPhone plans and they look pretty terrible (like $80+ a month for everything most people need).

Many of these phones are sold completely unlocked, and some are sold with penta-band capabilities (meaning T-Mobile/AT&T/Rogers/WIND HSPA+ compatibility).
