We actually need 2 cellphones (small compact easy to carry around). At times during our trip were going to be separated in different locations and need some sort of way to communicate. The international rates Canadian cell phone providers charge are pretty steep so I started looking for a cheaper alternative. I think the disposable cell phone/pay as u go would be more than adequate for what we need it for. Getting ahold of family ect back home while were gone we use skype.
Thank you for all your great advise.
