I'm a very cheap person.  I'm looking at http://www.speakout7eleven.ca/ .

You have to buy one of their phones, and they don't do number
portability, but the airtime lasts a year and apparently, they're on
the Rogers network, so you can drop the SIM into a Rogers phone and it
will work.  All the extras are included, but as with all
pay-as-you-go, the $0.25 per-minute price is too high for it to be
your only phone.

$10/mo apparently also does unlimited web access.  I'm going to give
it a try, but I have to unlock my current phone to do so.

Oh and rumour has it that you have to go in-person into a 7-11 to buy
additional airtime.
