VIdeotron has their own network within Quebec and Ottawa. Outside of their network, you can roam on both Rogers and Bell towers. However, they do have a clause in the contract that states that within a 3 month period, you cannot be out of the Videotron network (roaming on partner network) over 50% of the time.

1) Buy a cheap plan that will do what you need for your normal day (can usually get a 30$ for 2GB which is enough for more people)
2) Get a free sim from Raoming Sim Free
3) Create a fongo account and get a fongo number free

When ready to go to the usa

1) Forward your Normal phone to Fongo Number free
2) Put your Roaming sim in 5$ per day in the US
3) Enjoy people can still call you at your normal number
Just give up bro.

Just buy a VPN if are scared of Open WIFI and it will still be cheaper
I have wifi at work and at home. I still use 14GBs per months. It would higher if I spent more time in public transport.

I don't stream videos on my phone but I manage social media account. Instagram alone takes about 8-10 GBs per months.

I also receive/send large files regularly.

That poster is denying the fact that the world now runs on information and memes and YouTube.

Just because you don't use more than a few GBs per month doesn't mean the world doesn't.

Denying the fact that the Big 3 ripoff Canadians and posters like him are so accustomed to that, it is ingrained in the mind that people shouldn't have affordable cell phone service.

Going by this chart, the lack of mobile data usage in Canada is clearly correlated to the expensive cost of data in this country. In fact, it is the highest cost of any OECD nation.

Get a 30$ plan insteadof 75 thats 45$ per month the Roaming is 4$ per day so unless you are almost always in the USA you save much more
Nope, the us roaming is really $12 a year. It is a $1 a month add on that is not exclusive to the 17gb plan.

17GB. I got 750GB/month (corporate plan), technically unlimited if you ask me, and I barely even use 3G.

Aside from constant streaming video/music, I cannot imagine people hitting above the 5GB...

Curious what people do with their data...
Why judge? I stream music and podcast on the road, and watch a few YouTube videos before going to bed at camping on weekends and I'm always barely making it with my 7gb...
