I use T-Mobile To Go for my iPhone when I'm in the States. It works well and is inexpensive. But there is another way to avoid roaming charges. It is by using AT&T go phone. You have an unlocked iPhone. It had to have come with the AT&T sim card. If you still have it lying around, you can activate it.

Here are the details on AT&T Go Phone:
- 25 cents a minute anytime
- 15 cents extra per minute to call Canada
- 15 cents to send or receive texts
- 25 cents to send texts to Canada
Here's how to activate it:
1. Purchase an activation code on ebay - Costs $2 and gives you $10 of airtime

2. Go to the AT&T Go Phone Activation page

3. Enter the sim card #


4. Enter a zip code of the area code you want and your iPhone's IMEI #. You can enter the actual IMEI # of your iPhone or you can just make up a 15 digit code, it doesn't matter.


5. Pick you plan - the regular pay as you go is best for Canadian Roamers


6. Enter Personal Info - Just make up an address


7. Enter activation code - I didn't get this far in the process because I made up a fake sim card # but this should be the next step. Once you enter it, you should be activated, it will give you a new # and will send a text to that #. You will have $10 in your account. Then you can just refill the account by purchasing refills on ebay.

I choose to use T-Mobile To Go because the refills last 90 days and the smallest amount you can buy is $10. The smallest from AT&T is $15 and lasts only 30 days. Pick whatever works best for you.
