I discovered that you also have to pay attention to your phone connection while you are just near the Canadian border. We were just off Orcas Island and I got a text message from AT&T that I was incurring roaming charges. When I called Customer Service, I was told that the phone had clearer signals from a Canadian tower than from a US tower in that area so that was the signal it used. They changed my phone settings in their system so it could not be used outside the US and they did away with the charges. Had I not called, the charges would have continued. The downside was I had to remember to call and have them reset my phone when we next traveled out of the country.
