LG Optimus One Android Caller ID question?

Q. I have an LG Optimus One and my provider is Koodo. I didn't buy the caller ID add on because I thought the phone would get the names from my contact list and that would tell me who's calling. Unfortunately it is not doing that. Is that normal? Is caller ID the only way to see who is calling?

A. even if the person who is calling is one of your contacts, it won't show you who it is because you don't have caller id. koodo if now offering caller id, voicemail, and unlimited texting for $10.


Using my iPhone in the US?
Q. OK Hi everyone, I'm going to the US in a few months on a vacation and I can't wait :) Write now, I live in Canada and I have my iPhone 4 and Android phone on a Canada-based plan. I need to be able to use my phone in the US

My service provider here (Koodo) says that I can buy a 30-day roaming package for $20. But I need to buy 2 of those for both the iPhone and the Android phone. You can choose if you want the package to have unlimited text in the US or 50 minutes. (Cost $40 for 2 phones)

Or I could choose to get 2 Prepaid SIM cards for my phones. I can either choose from AT&T or
T-Mobile, but it should't be on a longterm contract! (Cost of the SIM cards themselves $? + Cost for service $?)

My last resort is using my old Verizon phone I had when I lived in the US a few years ago. It's CDMA based, so I'm not sure if it will work again, but I'd rather use my current phone.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS:

1) Should I get the plan that Koodo offers?
a) If yes, then the 50 min or unlimited texting?

2) If not, should I get 2 SIM cards instead?
a) If yes, should I go with AT&T or T-Mobile?
b) How much will the SIM card itself cost?
c) How much does the plan cost?
d) Is this plan long term or prepaid? (I'm looking for no contracts)

3) If not any one of the ones above, should I try using my CDMA Verizon phone?
a) If so, will it work on Verizon's network?
b) Are there any reconnection fees?

4) Any other suggestions?

GUYS I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME + HELP
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH!
AND THE BEST ANSWER WILL GET 10 POINTS ;)

A. 1. Get the Koodo plan. Our prepaid plans here in the US are expensive. Plus you also need to get your phones unlocked to be used on our carriers (your phones may be carrier locked to Koodo) and if they don't unlock it, you will have to pay a third party unlocker to do it. Most prepaid plans will give you a free SIM (AT&T) or really cheap (T-Mobile for a buck). T-Mobile will probably be the cheapest with the $30/month unlimited data and text, 100 minutes voice. You would have to order their SIM online and have it shipped to you (unsure if they will ship to Canada or you can get it shipped to where you are in the USA and pick it up then and activate it online).

Your Verizon will work but their prepaid plans are expensive, but offer great coverage and service.
