I agree on having a contingency plan in case the Yackie Mobile card doesn't arrive in time (I've been thinking of ordering one myself but want to wait until I read reviews on how well their cards work once they start delivering).
Also don't overlook low tech prepaid calling cards for international calls from hotel phones or payphones. Many have extremely low rates.

Thanks for the info about canadian cards.
Canada will be only 2 weeks and she'll stay at her sisters house. So there we do not need the card that urgent. For Canada we can go along with SMS on our german SIM-card or call the landline. USA is more interesting as it will be more than a month
