If you can use apps/data to communicate back home that would be ideal. I am a big fan of WhatsApp (mentioned above). Just load it onto your phone before you travel. Once you put in the new SIM card, WhatsApp will as you if you want to stay with the old phone number (always Yes) and that way all your WhatsApp contacts will still be able to reach you.

Speaking from experience, even receiving one phone call with Rogers will trigger the $15 Roam Like Home Charge - you may have to disable that before you leave.

Edit - just notice your dates. Oops. Hope you had fun
