Default USA cellphone with Canada Address

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to sign up a postpaid cellphone plan at one of the neighbouring province in USA with a Canadian address?

I need a USA cellphone plan because I have to be in USA most of the time but still staying in Canada.

Anyone has done that?

I live in the US half of the year and I use Tracfone. It's prepay and costs me $100 a year. Plenty of minutes which don't expire.

How about postpaid? Will they allow me to get postpaid with a Canada address?

I do not believe so. Check on line. You can get a phone and/or time at any Walmart.

Many Canadians have postal box addresses in the USA so it might be doable.

You don't even need an address for a prepaid phone. You don't even need to go to the US in fact, just mail order it.

US contract phones don't make sense unless you live right on the border and can connect to a US tower. You're paying for too much for stuff you can't use or which has additional fees, imo.
