Do any of these offer any deals on using your airtime for incoming when you are across the border? Maybe there is a 'snowbird special' tarrif!

Most plans suck when it comes to roaming in the other country. That's why I have a couple of prepaid US phones. Lots of Americans who come here regularly have Canadian prepaid service too.

I found a little tiny regional provider in Montana (Sagebrush) that includes Canadian roaming at no charge in some of its higher-end plans, which was interesting.
