G - I don't remember the club name and I didn't say the club sucks, just that the quality were not as good as Toronto (from the small sample in that club) but I was only there for a couple hours so I can't judge Montreal nightlife yet.
I was referring specifically to not seeing many hotties in the day time. My buddy noticed the same thing, we both live in Toronto for 20 years. I am quite surprised by the hype for Montreal girls on this thread, I have to go back and really keep an eye out next time.

I've gone to pretty much all the big clubs in Toronto. I organized events and parties for the last few years so I know most of the promoters, I've worked with Kleenmedia. If you partied in Toronto often then you've attended their parties.
The club that I probably go to the most is Easy on the Fifth, something like in the hundred.

Do any of you know the cheapest solution to make landline calls from Montreal to USA?

I would just go to a local bodega and pick up a calling card and use a pay phone. You can also go to a phone center type complex that has phones that let you make calls anywhere.

The youth hostel a couple of blocks from the Canadien's hockey arena, at least back in the 1990s, actually was really nice and had very nice private rooms with a private bath for not that much. I don't know if that is still true. Worth checking.

I need to make landline calls from my apartment to the USA.
Need a hardline with speaker phone. (I get kind of Gordon Gekko / Tony Montana when I am on the phone).
Need to keep money moving on the streets.
Any ideas for that?
Gotcha.
I've been in the same situation when I used to live in Panama.
You'll need an apartment with high-speed internet.
Get a land phone with the requirements you need (i.e. speaker). Bring that with you from the States.
Several options:
1)
Google Voice via Obi would be the cheapest route (free calls between US and Canada w/ Google voice). Obi devices are between $40-50. One-time fee. That's it. No landline bill whatsover.
2)
magicJack - competes with Obi. They charge an annual fee (minimal price).
3)
Vonage - Now my boy in Brazil swears by this, but he makes calls all over the world. Anytime I call him or vice versa, it's a crystal clear connection just like a landline.
Since you'll be in Canada, numero uno is your best choice. Free calls. All you gotta do is buy the Obi kit. Peep that vid in that link for a quick demonstration.

Thanks Hencredible.
That helps. I have used magicjack.
I am really looking for a "hard-line" solution.
Old school.
In home phone.
Another option I guess would be a Canadian Cell phone with cheap calling rates to US.
Know anything about that?

I guess you can work out the hard-line solution with the place/person you rent your apartment from. A calling card would be your cheapest route for outbound calls.
If you want to go the cell phone route, I say keep your US phone and get an international (Canada) plan with your cell phone provider. That way, you can use your US phone in Canada without changing your number. It will be like you never left which is good if you're looking to appear "inconspicuous" to your contacts.
FYI, for texting, Canadian numbers are treated like US ones because they both use the
North American numbering system. So your US texting plan applies to texts made to US and Canadian numbers while you're in Canada with no additional charges.

Now you are talking. +1.

Have you ever done this?
Yes. I did this with Sprint. One flat rate for the plan and that was it. No problems.

So you cancelled your US plan, and bought a Canadian plan?
What was the cost per minute of calling America?
No, I kept my US plan and got a Canada plan for less than $5/month. For outbound calls I made while in Canada, I was charged .20 a minute (reduced rate because of the plan). It didn't matter though because I only got the plan so that I could reach chicks in live time when texts were becoming too burdensome. 1-2 min convos. When I was at the apartment, I used Google voice through my laptop (free).
I never got charged for any texts to any US or Canada number. But that's the case even without the Canada plan.

hey guys, I know someone here sent me a great link on airbnb for a cool pad in Montreal, but I lost it. Can a MTL expert here tell me exactly WHERE I should get a pad? Ideally, close to the awesome nightlife. Keep in mind that restaurants are NOT a priority, but logistics from venues with DTF girls to my pad is of paramount importance. I am trying to avoid renting a car and walking/trains/buses/taxis.
Where should I stay as far as neighborhood goes. My budget is 2,000.00USD per mont, and I only require 1 bedroom 1 bathroom, but it must be a pimp, and trendy place.

St. Laurent - One of Canada's most famous streets. This is bar none the street with the most HEAVY traffic of hot girls. This would be your best bet.
Mont. Royal (Plateau) - Great transportation hub. Some cool bars here. Easy bus ride down St. Laurent street to get you to the main strip of St. Laurent.
Crescent Street - Premier street in the English part of Montreal. Lots of hot chicks. Much smaller street than St. Laurent though. Not a bad place to be because it's walking distance to downtown.
Old Port - Vieux Montreal. Old part of the city. Nice sophisticated venues. My favorite bar in the world is here (Santos).
You really can't lose between these four places.

So you would switch out the sim card when you would make a call from Canada to the US?
(I am a cell phone/tech novice).
No. If you switch out a sim card, you get a new number (local number) with that card. A prepaid sim card is definitely an option, but the rates for calls to the US aren't good.
My phone was a CDMA so it didn't use a sim card. I just kept my number and bought the Canada plan that my provider has.
