Definitely check your rates. If you are on AT&T, chances are you will be pushed onto the Rogers network. Others (Verizon) will most likely end up on the Bell or Telus Networks. Make sure you check your phone, text and data rates before coming. Data rates can add up if you're not careful. Canadian mobile providers make a lot of money from international roaming, a 20MB data plan for light email use and twitter should be sufficient for a week. If you're worried about more, bump up one. It's better than coming home with a $200 bill.
