We're planning a 6 week camping trip to NB, NS, Newfoundland, PEI, and then across Quebec and Ontario in July-August.
1. Can we get access to computers easily for checking e-mail periodically? Was hoping I could get that access easily and not have to take computer.
2. We've got pretty accustomed to traveling with ability to use cell phone to contact family, call ahead to campgrounds for reservations, etc. We have Verizon cell coverage but looking for what is going to be best way to get best phone coverage in these areas. Or is it better to access public phones and use calling cards???
Thanks to those of you who've gone before us.........
There are a lot of private CG in the Atlantic provinces that have free Internet access. Most provincial CG do not have internet access.
Most libraries have free Internet. There are a lot of hot spots with wi-fi access. Internet cafes are available in most towns. Keep in mind that Canada is one of the more "Internet connected" countries and this includes the "wilds" of the Atlantic provinces.
As for cell phones check with Verizon for an extension to your existing plan to allow international calls. That's what we canadians do when heading to the states. You can usually do this for minimal monthly cost but be prepared for a heafty per-minute charge. If Verizon does not offer service in Canada, get an ATT phone. They have a deal with Bell which covers all of Canada thru their affiliates.
