I'm looking for a package that will have a fairly decent SMS/Voice rate back to canada so I can contact my family and friends.

I will be taking a W810i unlocked phone, in case it makes a difference.

Look here:

I suggest you to buy on ebay.com an italian sim card. (not very expensive abt 10 US$) and activate a callback service (i use Callback World, very ok, about 0,282 US$ to call Canada)
Rates from italian sims are abt 0,65 US$.
The cellphone is ok, but you need a simple dualband phone.
Here in italy, the Motorola MotoFone F3 (no WCDMA-UMTS) is sold at about 40 Euros.
