Why I picked an unlocked phone

There’s something to be said for having cellphone reception in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. But more impressive is how little it costs. Forget outrageous roaming charges. In fact, forget Canadian carriers at all.

On an island off the coast of Portugal, 15 euros got me a SIM card and 300MB of data from European provider Vodafone. Setup took minutes. And my phone – otherwise loyal to Telus – was left none the wiser.
