I'm going to Canada for a few days and need 500mb of data or so while I'm there. Just for GPS and iMessage really, what is the cheapest provider that will do the trick for me?

Thanks
 
Our biggest cellular providers in Canada are Telus Mobility, Rogers Wireless, Bell Mobility, Virgin, Koodo & Fido. These I believe are our biggest and all nationwide. It also depends where in Canada you are going to be. Some of our smaller providers are not nationwide. But check any one of them out. I believe you will find most are very comparable here in Canada to each other.
 
Big 3 = Telus, Bell Mobility, Rogers

AWS only = Wind and Mobilicity

Fido, chatr = Rogers
Koodo = Telus
Virgin, PC Mobile = MVNOs on Bell's network

If you think US wireless carrier competition (or lack thereof) is bad, wait until you see Canada's.

btw: if you want GSM there is only one real choice over here - Rogers.
