I live in Canada, and have for years. I have US Dollar credit cards from Canadian banks, I have US Dollar credit cards from US banks. I have Canadian Dollar credit cards too. My phone number has a US area code (Canada shares an international prefix with the US), but I also have a virtual number for Canada.

Whatever system you think of to price discriminate, people will break it.

Funny little Canada price discrimination story: Cell phone data is really expensive here since there is no competition, so much so that it is often cheaper to roam on an international line in Canada than to have a contract with a Canadian Telecom, hence the US number.
