    Suggestions for 1 month holiday PAYG - voice & data

    Hi folks,
    I'm visiting for just under a month in October and will be around Montreal (starting point), Quebec, Ottawa and Toronto and places in-between. I'm after a PAYG SIM for my UK, unlocked, Galaxy S2 for voice and data.
    I expect the number of calls to be very low, maybe a few dozen texts and just enough data to keep the email going!
    Browsing these forums seems to suggest Fido, 7-11 or Koodu. Anyone any particular suggestions??
    I guess they'll all have shops in Montreal?

    Thanks
    Steve

    7 11 is not in quebec ... the network yes but not the simcard and top up
    Koodo you need a identity in canada is not for you
    Fido rogers telus and bell have good coverage and same rate in many case ( you can t take bell and telus because your phone don t have 3g 850/1900 )
    Petro canada have great rate but is a little difficult to configure your phone for data
    And some apps don t work

    I choose fido for better rate and for easy config

    So all i need to do is get one on eBay (very cheap as you say!) then go into a Fido shop in Montreal and get the top ups i need? .... or do it all online before I go?
    Thanks

    you can activate online the simcard via fido.ca ... for top up some international credit card work ( my mothers french credit card work )
    if you can't top up online go to a fido store or to any supermaket store ... their are many place you can buy this card !
