I am currently with at&t, but my contract expires this month, so I'm considering other options, such as Verizon and T-mobile. I will be going to school in Canada soon, so I will be going there for months at a time, and I want to know the cheapest way to call my Canadian friends and my US family while I'm there.
At&t has nation+Canada plans, pay-as-you-go plans, discounted international plans, etc. So do the other carriers, I'm sure. Would the easiest way to go be to get an unlocked quad-band GSM phone (with no contract) and purchase two prepaid sim cards: one from the US and one from Canada? Would that be cheapest? Or would it be worth it to just fork over the $60/month for at&t's nation+Canada?
Last question: I want to get an iPod touch. Can I get Skype and call my family in the US that way (via wi-fi, of course)?
Please, any help at all is greatly appreciated!
