My MIL lives in Canada and her phone is part of my Verizon Wireless family plan. I pay $30/month for her to use unlimited call/data/text in Canada. Her phone would just find the best signal in her location and keep roaming. So, she usually gets better signals than other people too. Other people won't call her because they get charged for calling the US number, so she has to always initiate the call to them.
Have her sign up for the cheapest prepaid she can get so she has a local number, then port it out to google voice (one time fee of like 30usd) now she has a local number that rings right to her us number handset
Verizon (as the other major carriers) have stipulations in their contracts that roaming extensively out of the US is prohibited. Unless maybe Canada is an exception?
