Canada Air Cards & Canada

[P51bombay]

I know the air card thing has been discussed many times but what is best if you spend a lot of time north of the 49th? Since I spend a good 6 hours a day there and anything more than around 200 yards north of the border puts you on a Canadian network I'm not really sure what's the best option as US and Canadian cards both seem to incur roaming charges on the other side - So I wonder if two cards are the answer, one for each side? For a while I thought an in-motion satellite was the answer until I found out today they aren't $3500 but $30,000

Maybe the best option is a Bell air card and just pay the monthly or yearly J hot spot charge...plus there's tons of free accesess as well

I think Sprint has an aircard/data plan for north of the border. I looked into it a while back, but can't remember much about it.

The trouble with hotspots is I'm never in one place more than maybe 30 minutes - the only exception to that is the border lineup

I was poking around ATT's site last night and it looks like they have something on their business side (and not cheap) but they have it set up so poorly I can't make heads or tails of what they do/don't offer So I guess I gotta go to the mall and talk with teenager. LOL
