My favorite were the ones about whether they needed to only drink bottled water, avoid salads, and soft shelled fruits when dining in Toronto.

I forward a US number to my sim dejour and it works great. The problem comes when someone tries to send an SMS to that number.

less than 15% of the US population have passports. That says something, don't it?

Actually, I heard that stat, too. But, when I did a little Google research (which I think eliminates the need for higher education!) the actual range is not so exact, and kind of vague -- from about 15% to over 20% in some stats. Anyway, you think that's a low stat, but, when you think of how many billions of people are starving, as opposed to the not-so-many-more billions total people on the earth, THAT is an amazing stat.

PS -- I can't keep a passport for the 10 years. I have my latest 6 years, THREE inserts of extra pages, and, it is about to fall apart.

And salads should be avoided EVERYWHERE ... they suck - admit it, it's just filler!.. Toronto included ..

Back to SIMs .......
