Cel phones in Canada
Permalink  
 


Will be spending a couple days making the circle from Sault Saint Marie up thru Thunder Bay and back to Duluth.

My question is will my ATT cell phone work in this part of the world? 

Any other thots about this trip--it doesn't look like there is much in the way of hotels between Marathon and T Bay.

AT&T works, but it's going to be more expensive in a foreign country. The DWP guys have problems with that when they stay in International Falls. AT&T put up some towers just across the border and the guys are constantly fighting foreign charges because of that.

When are you going to be in Duluth? Maybe Bucket and I can show you around.

Uke suggests Motel 6 for lodging around Ontario, Canada. Grab the brand new Motel 6 Guide for 2012 "Celebrating 50 Years" from your nearest Motel 6. They're the cheapest by far... And 'senior citizens' room rates are automatically lowered when ya register!

I'll drive out of my way ta stay at Motel 6 every time I travel... Super 8 Motels are my next choice, but only if... And there's more pay phones in Canada than in the USA. Ask at the border crossings, or use "Uke's Handy Dandy Guide ta Pay Phones Across North America"!

http://www.payphone-directory.org/ Click the Ontario link for locations. The directory seems pretty damn up ta date tu!

Your cell phone will run off of the Bell Canada Towers

You could change your plan to include Canada. You can add Canada for $4.99 per month and make calls for 59 cents per minute or buy 50 minutes for $25.00 Snippy is just guessing that if this is the pre-arranged rate, that just going up there and using your phone could be very expensive. Also not that it doesn't include text or data. Make sure and shut it off if you have a smart phone.

I don't think it would be worth it just for a few days if they charge any plan change fees to do it. It looks like you can do it just for a month at a time. Check the "Change Your Plan" thing on the AT&T web site.

Uke used ta stay at Oak Tree Lodges... Back when he could prove employment with 2LARRCO, and the discount rate applied. No mo!

A visit to The Anchor Bar & Grill is a must when travelling around Dulut*! Best burgers in...the area!

*Note to wes, the Anchor Bar is actually in Superior, Wisconsin, but don't tell Buckethead. He thinks it's in North Dakota!

That slippery Snippy would know all about the foreign rates, since he has been planning his escape to avoid answering for the Libor rates..... Saw him the past week next to the Libar.... Eery.

You say that before it is posted. It is known now that you were talking Treason and Sedition.

wes: Run, don't walk away from Fuck Uke's bad advice! Avoid Motel 6, America's Worst Inns, Days Inn, and Ramada.

Super 8s (Wyndham Rewards) and Red Roof Inns run hot and cold. If you have to pick one, pick a new one. Sleep Inn and Microtel are half decent and cheap. For fun, you can always book at some of the best of the best -- Oak Tree: http://www.oaktreeinn.com/Hotels Snippy will be probably be bunking at a clone of one on Monday night in Calvinkistan.

Snippy is trying to disappear by leaving snail trails all over the place.
