canadian pre-pay CDMA provider question
my daughter is going to school in Vancouver next year.
I would like to put her on a canadian pre-pay plan (going to handle calling home/US in general through skype)
I would like, if possible to re-use her existing LG 8350 with the canadian provider to avoid having to buy yet another phone...
can anybody tell me which canadian providers are CDMA?

Cause he wants to use his VERIZON phone on one of the carriers. Read the post.

Chris, I did read the post.
This should be posted on the Canada forum...not the VZW forum...just because she has an old VZW handset...the question was about obtaining pre-pay service in Canada.

my sincerest apologies for polluting your forum mr. llama.
forgive me for thinking I might find help here from some perhaps knowledgeable verizon folks.

Bell, Telus, and Virgin Mobile are the Canadian CDMA carriers.
I dunno about re-using the verizon phone, you may have to get a new device.

Have you thought about getting the Canada+US plan? Its 20.00 more a month and there are no Roaming charges.
...
yes.
the long and short of that is that will cost $35/month for her service and result in us losing unlimited nights, weekends and mobile to mobile (+canada cuts those to 1000 mins combined between nights, weekends and mobile to mobile).
also any txt message she sends from canada to the states will cost $0.20 regardless of txting plan.
she can get a pay as you go plan for as little $20 with 200 minutes and 500 txts...(she doesn't talk much, but texts a fair amount).
