Telus will not allow you to roam (use your phone anyware outside Canada if your on a prepaid plan, no exceptions it sucks. Now a throw away phone is what you have... a prepaid phone. It's considered a throw away phone as it's not really linked to you with a contract and fancy account, so it's easy to dispose of, just take out the sim and wipe the phone and done.
