Let me start with the bad news which is that a US shipping address is required. Why? I have no idea because they’re based in Waterloo ON. Maybe just go to their office and kindly request a sim if you happen to be nearby.
But once you get the sim you should be able to get no cost (ad supported) unlimited calls and texts over cell networks in Canada and USA. No Wi-Fi required.

Much has changed though
-the sim is now just 99 cents (Normally it’s 5 USD) with free ship to US address
-coverage is now available in most Canadian cities – see coverage map here

-the no cost plan is “unlimited” callings and texting . I have not been verify if any fair use policy might actually limit things.
How can your service start at $0? What’s the catch?
