Hey all, I find the pinned topic a little confusing because it's so old...so forgive me for asking again.
Is Roam still the best option?
I have a Bell plan and can "roam like home" for $7/day but that's almost $100 for the two weeks we'll be there.
We haven't been to FL in a few years, but last time it took Roam a day or two to get the sims working, which was annoying. We've used it in the US a couple of times since then and their activation period seems pretty quick more recently. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Dh remembers the days when he could buy a throwaway phone with a reasonable plan pretty cheaply--anyone do that recently? Or pick up a US plan sim from a local provider? Obviously, our own phones are unlocked.
I already have a couple of still-active Roam sims, and it looks like the monthly plan would be our best bet. 1 G of data, phone and text, for $40. 1 G should get me through 2 weeks, and dh can get the same plan so we'd have 2 gb between us (if I run out I can steal his phone!).
I'd be surprised if I can find better than $40, but I'd love you to prove me wrong!
