Economical mobile data for US and Canada
I am travelling to US and Canada from Australia this year and was wondering what would be the most economical and hassle free option for having mobile data and call time on my iPhone that gives me good coverage on both east and west coasts for both countries.
Option 1: Buy individual Sims for each each country and switch upon arrival in that country. Option 2: Buy one Sim that works in both countries. Will there be any roaming changes?
Any good providers, I'll throw in a free Sham-wow along with an up-vote and potentially an accepted answer.

Not a complete answer, but I used Similicious during a month long trip to Canada from the UK last year. Can't fault them. I took data only (used skype for calls, but they have voice/data plans), they asked about where I'd be to ensure best provider (was primarily in Alberta so got Rogers and 4G for most of the trip) and device to ensure correct sim type was sent and phone was capable.
SIM was dispatched to me in the UK without problems, they asked dates I would be there, and it just worked when I put the phone on in Calgary airport (in fact I ended up streaming Spotify for the last few days as I had too much data left!)
So I'd endorse them wholeheartedly for Canada.
