I now have a GPS, but not back then. My wife had a cell phone on my first trip and it cost her 700$ that month, more than what it cost for gas (550$) to go and come back, because of the few U.S. calls we made. Cell phone? NO THANKS.
I don't know who the heck she was calling to rack up $700 but I know I bring my cell phone down to the US all the time and I've never racked up that kinda bill. |

Ask Cooke what his cell bill was (he doesn't have email) for the same duration! 
Over 5 days at Expo I used just over 100 minutes and it cost me around $90. Unless you had the worst cell phone plan in the world and talked non-stop for a week, it would be difficult to rack up a $700 bill. But whatever. I'm not here to argue with anyone. By the way, this thread makes me want to stab myself in the face. |

Go to the U.S. and call only a few times and you'll see that bill go up like a jet. 
I use payphones from the States, but I dial 1-800-555-1111 to connect to Canada first, then I make a collect call. Simple and...cheap! tartagliag |

I can't argue much with anyone on this topic, because I know absolutely nothing about cell phones.....But one thing I know is the bill I paid after going to U.S.. I'm sure you're right Adam, my wife had a way of spending money like you would'nt believe...............................  she even made us lose our house  . |

You are too emotional Cory!  by the way, we made only about 20 calls on that trip, I'm sick and tired of explaining my experiences and having this kind of comment to try to discredit me on this site.  What do you know about my family cell bill Cory?! |

I'm hoping when you say "Had", you either straightened her out or got rid of her. If my wife's spending habits caused us to even come close to missing a mortgage payment, I'd lose it.......she'd be locked in the closet or something. She wouldn't even get the chance to screw us that bad, everything is in my name under my credit. |

Emotional? Me? Don't make me PM Sparky! Edit: And don't be so sensitive, Claude. Sheesh. I'm not insulting you. It's all fun and games around here. |
