When I'm traveling to the US I just load up my Roam Mobility Card before I leave. It's a MUCH better deal than using one of the CDN providers with roam option.

This company uses T-Mobile network. I have not had a issue with coverage(a few yrs ago in VT it was pretty spotty, but other wise when I drive to NJ there is zero problems)

At some point in the past you could choose the City where you got a number from. Now it's a random location when you signup.

512MB per-day is plenty and if you do use it up it just slows down to 2G speeds afterwards. For Emails and GPS it's plenty.

Are you wanting to replace Roger's entirely or just get phone coverage
in the US? Freedom Mobile has a $20/month add-on to roam in the US
with 1GB of data. Their regular roaming fee without that add-on is
only $0.25/minute.

If you can manage with hopping between wifi hotspots, voip is very
effective with voicemail.
