Help Making calls while in Canada

[ninjakyle]

I will be spending a week in Canada and am trying to figure out my options.

Any tips for using Google voice over skype to make/receive calls free while in Canada?

Any Verizon, skype, or other tricks anyone knows?

I was just up in Canada last month, and have an Inc on VZ.

If you call VZ, you can get them to add their Global Data option, which is a really cheap way to get data access while out of the country. I don't recall the exact price, but I *think* it was $20/month additional, so less than a dollar a day (they will prorate for however many days you need). Maybe it was a full dollar a day...

Voice calls from Canada were $0.69/minute, and there was no good option to do better. I didn't research skype type options though.
