they can still call you but They will go to your voicemail And you can call your Canadian number and get the message then return the call from your US number.

Skype-to-Go is also a very good option. Set it up, get a US local number in the area he frequents and since he is calling NA (back to Canada), his calls are free (Skype allows provides a &quot;local&quot; number for all the contacts setup in Skype-to-Go). It works well for me on US and international calls.

the canadian carriers kill you with roaming charges...sometimes the best option is to get a pay as you go phone and just top it up for US trips
