We are traveling in to Canada later this year. What are people doing for cellular voice and data? We plan to be in country for 3 weeks so going without connectivity is not an option. ATT is our service provider in the states

We have both AT&T and Verizon cellular and data services, we believe the better option of the two for travels in Canada is Verizon’s $2 a day plan. That plan allows you to use your existing voice and data plan in Canada. You sign-up for the plan and solely pay $2 per day, only on the days you actually use the service (i.e., if your phone is off or outside their coverage range, you would not be charged the $2 per day fee). We are currently near Quebec City and have good coverage (i.e., I am using our Verizon coverage to post this comment).
Unfortunately, I did not find something comparable from AT&T. If you were considering a carrier change, you might wish to consider making it prior to traveling to Canada. Or, you might call AT&T and let them know what their competition is offering and see if they can match the plan or offer you something similar.
