I have a Virgin Mobile USA cell phone, and their coverage area doesn't include Canada. I'm going to want a cell phone when I'm in Toronto next month for the NABC. Does anyone know an inexpensive way to get a cell phone for a week while I'm there? I'd probably only use less than 60 minutes (at most 5 minutes a day).

Are you driving or flying in? I'll give you directions right to a store that will be able to help you.

Flying in, and I'm not renting a car, although a friend might be picking me up from the airport.

Ok, are you staying at The Royal York? If so, there's a store called The Source that's in The Royal Bank Plaza right beside The Royal York. They'll be able to help you. (You might even be able to use your current phone and just throw a SIM card in it - that would be a super cheap option for you).

I'll be staying at the Sheraton, although I assume there will be a shuttle to the Royal York. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't take sim cards.

Toronto has an amazing underground set of pathways aptly called The Path. You can actually walk underground from The Sheraton Centre to The Royal York in about 10 minutes. During that walk you pass right by The Source in The Royal Bank Centre (it's in the north tower). Here's a link to the map of it: http://www.toronto.c...th_brochure.pdf
