Hey,
Just wanted to let you know that its pretty easy to find a cheap phone up here. Those of us from the states (myself included) have two cellphones or at least two simcards. Its helpful to have a 514 number because most people have 514 numbers, so if you have a US phone all your friends with 514 numbers will hate you because they will get charged 30 cents a text and probably even more from calls. Although some American phone companies will cover you and make it so that you can text whoever wherever in North America, this isn’t true of people who want to text you with another area code. They will get charged, so its best to get a phone when your up here. Stay away from Rogers, they overcharge but Koodoo/Telus/Fido are pretty legit. Skype will be your best friend.
