I travel occasionally to the US (2-3 times/year, sometimes a bit more) and that's the main time I use my cellphone; I rarely use it in Canada. But I haven't been able to find a prepay service that lets me use it outside of Canada; some providers won't even let you use prepay outside of the province.

It won't take long for people to sell their ETFs. FJ: I dodn't think the usual alternative to ETFs included the type of arbitrage that makes them efficient. That seems a little beyond the average active fund manager. I'm not an expert but it's probably done by more specialized funds that the average investor doesn't have access to. If the number of people doing it does go down, the profits will go up - drawing more people.

I do wonder, however, if the market becomes less efficient as more investors (retail or pension) rush into ETF investing. After all, who will stay behind to maintain the balance between intrinsic value and market cap? Count me as one of those who bought into Vanguard ETFs last year.

It seems that petro canada and 7/11 offer decent options for prepaid wireless providing that you have one of those stores nearby. Thanks for the mention CC.
