be honest, Rogers have a cheap and good plans at a good cost compared to Fido. But the reception is unbearable!!! I have both a Fido and a Rogers sim card, I pay for prepaid from fido to use at weekdays, and use the unlimited weekends from Rogers(I don't have to pay anything until next month).
Fido's GSM network is way better, but Roger's long distance support is better(according to my dad who is a frequent traveller in north america).
As well, zero cost for the phone is very luring from Rogers, but not much have realize they have a 2 year contract to follow. I kno each year you can get a Fido's phone for free at only 3 months contract as well u get a bunch of stuff free in Toronto. Last year is the Nokia 3390, this year is the Sony Ericsson T200.

I'm a foreigner often visiting to Canada. Is there a prepaid GSM account in Canada that gives me GPRS?

u think that rogers is not better reception wise?
I dunno man..
some ppl had better reception with their rogers device than my T68i (fido)
but my P8 totally blows em all away
fido roaming is pretty good I think
and I love the fact that there is no contract

What difference doe sa contract make nowadays anyway? Most of us don't buy their phones we get them somewhere else and stick the sim card in. In Canada we only have FIDO or Rogers so either way you're stuck. |

Hi Guys! I got a T68i Sony Ericsson from AT&T USA. Dont ask why. lets just say I got it for a good price. I called a rogers store to ask them if I had to unlock the phone and they told me that I dont. So I went and got myself a contract but the phone says "insert correct sim card". I think it has to be unlocked but I'm not sure so can you guys tell me if it has to be unlocked and where and how much it usualy cost to unlock it. Thanx |

I recently picked up a new T68i and it's very nice. One of the things I did not know at the time however, was the chance in voicemail.
This is with Rogers ATT and I am in Western Canada.
Seems that GSM phone voicemail systems are few and far between. Which implies that many people (like myself) have to dial long distance (from a landline phone) in order to retrieve voicemail messages. This seems wrong to me. Does anyone know any more about this? i.e. Is anyone else bothered by it ? or is it just no big deal for everyone ...
I would hope that no LD charges would apply if you are check your voicemail right from your phone ...
Just curious ...
Bill

Hello and Greetings from the West Coast!
I'm super new to this board (first post ever), so please excuse the "newbie-ness"
Let's get str8 to the point:
I have a T68 and I have just purchased a MCA-25. I plugged it in but nothing happened -- is it because :
--I need to get the T68 flashed (upgraded to R7A013?) ?
--If so, do I need to have the "i" package (??) <-- wat is this??
--I live in Vancouver BC, does anyone know a place / person that can upgrade the phone for me? How much can I expect to cough up?
--Is the camera DOA??
Again, I'm sure these questions have been posted XXX number of times, but it's pretty time sensitive here, as I need to either upgrade the phone or return the cam..
Thanks so much!  |

Please ignore the rant a few boxes up regarding LD for voicemail... silly me... a few rules and a little chat... no long distances for voicemail from neither phone nor landline... no problems...
let's chat about something else more interesting...
