    Hi! Can anyone recommend a cellphone company that has calls, messages and data for Canada AND US without restrictions? All I found was either no forfait at all or a forfait that has a maximum of 120 days per year in the US or max 50 percent in Canada.

    What do you mean by restrictions? If you are wanting unlimited data for streaming you are sol. Rogers has a roam like home plan that works in both countries. You can get a phone from visible in the usa. It uses Verizon towers. Truly unlimited. But does not work in Canada. Only $35 a month. I think you have to keep it active or you lose your number. You have to be careful as many services do not work everywhere. In the U SA att and Verizon have the best coverage. Also the most expensive. I pay about $80 a month for Roger's. I use it in both countries. Comes with unlimited calls and text. 8 gb of data and you can buy more. Canada has some of the most expensive cell service in North America.

    I think Bell has a plan for Canada and the states also. Not sure on the details of it. I have both a Canadian phone and a U.S. one because I use my phones as a hot spot on both sides of the border.

    I'm on bell network. I pay $145 a month for 50GB of internet and unlimited calls/texts. After 50GB internet speeds drop to 512kbps for unlimited GB. Although that speed I can usually only use Facebook, maps and videocall.

    To OP, I think you are better off getting a prepaid plan in the states.
