go to the US for 4 months a year. If I unlock the Sim in Nokia 1208 can I switch back and forth with it and get a different one for the US?

If the Nokia 1208 was a Canadian 7-11 Speakout phone, or bought from Petro Canada, the phone would already be unlocked. To use that Nokia 1208 in the US, all you would need to do is buy and swap in a US based sim card, which would have it's own airtime and it's own US number. To use the phone in Canada again, all you would have to do is swap back to the original sim card.

If I unlock the Sim in Nokia 1208

Note that it's the phone that's locked (if it's locked) and not the SIM.

The SIM establishes your home carrier (e.g. SpeakOut) and your phone number. You can use it with any unlocked GSM phone that's designed for use in North America.

Yes sure. Once when the phone is unlocked, you can switch over any network as per your wish. In case you need an unlock code purchase it from online & you can get the unlock instructions as free from http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/
