Roaming in Canada?

Anybody have any experience taking their VM USA phone over the border? Will the phone not work at all?

I used to have regular ol' Sprint and despite the fact that they told me I'd be charged really expensive international roaming rates for everything when I was in Canada, somehow texts (to other US numbers) ended up being free the whole time I was there. I didn't make any voice calls but I sent/received about a hundred texts and didn't get any extra charges.

If I can't use my VM phone at all, any recommendations for a 4-day trip to Montreal? I have an extra VM phone lying around-- I'm assuming there's no way I could get it to work on a Canadian network and pay for a month of txt/voice service? Is there a cheap Canadian prepaid carrier I could use with a junk phone?
 
No, VM doesn't work in Canada or anywhere except the US.
You still can take it and use it over the Wi-Fi network (skype, emails, groove ip)
