Hello,
anyone know where one might buy a prepay SIM card in Fernie? Am plotting a longish trip, so I think a local number would be useful
failing Fernie, can they be had in Calgary airport?
Thanks in advance, John

You can get a cheap and cheerful phone in Extra Foods in Fernie for $40 with $10 credit, or I'm pretty sure the flower shop down 2nd does sims. I much prefer the cell though, nice and basic, battery lasts forever!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sim cards are not generally sold in Canada but as horse Piste says there are some great prepaid phone deals available. Best deal is 7/11 pay $100 and get a free nokia phone with $100 air time on it. Must be the best deal anywhere in North America air time lasts for 1 year and if you dont use it all you can always sell it on.

as a follow up, the 7/11 had no phones when I went in and no idea when /if they would have them
they sent me to Extra Foods 5 mins walk away and I picked up a nasty clamshell Samsung for CAN$60 which does the job

I think you can get PAs YG SIM cards from ROgers phone shops. Its not necessarily something that is widely advertised but we bought our triband phones over and di exactly that
