Advice on cellphones?
Here is the situation. I am preparing for a long trip (more on that another time), and need a phone that works up and down the West Coast - including in Canada. I would like a plan under which expenses for this are not too exorbitant. (I plan to be on the phone for a bit.)
Karsten told me that out West you get good coverage with Sprint and Verizon. But Sprint wouldn't tell me that their phone works in Canada, and I called too late to find out what Verizon had to say.
So, does anyone have any advice on who I should be looking into phones from, and whether I will be able to get coverage into Canada?
Alternate approach: Get a minimally functional phone call and a calling plan, plan on calling people back. Doesn't work so well if I am not near a phone, which I often might not be.
Cheers,
Ben
