I have relatively modest cell phone needs. I use a cheap (free)
Tracfone and buy more minutes once a year. It works for what I need but
doesn't work in Canada, at least, not reliably. Since I live in WA I go
to Canada occasionally, usually on my motorcycle, and cell phone
coverage is kind of a nice thing to have.
Could I buy a cheap, unlocked GSM phone on Amazon, like this one, for
example,

put the SIM card from my Tracfone in it, and then buy a prepaid SIM card
in Canada? If yes, do the phone number and minutes I have accumulated
on my US Tracfone reside on the sim card, and will the phone number and
minutes just transfer on to the new phone?
