Ok the prices you listed in this thread, r they for Rogers OR 4 Fido? Rogers also had a problem of having MMS thru email 4 several weeks. Rogers' solution was for intercarrier SMS. Now, Fido allows MMS thru the phones actual EMAIL application, and thru SMS. Fido will also do a firmware update. :-o.

Never been with Fido before but I hear from multiple people that it sux. BIGTIME. Apparently you need to be with them for over a year before you are allowed to roam to the US. What the hell is that?!?!

Don't know if it is still like that.

Prom1:
I think he's saying the first prices are Rogers, second are Fido.
so all those "not offered"s are Rogers, then Fido's price.

tylerj:
Fido coverage is pretty good on main urban areas - less spotty than Rogers in my experience - but I live in Vancouver so I can't comment on GTA corverage. I've only been with them a few months and had no problems roaming down in Washington

Roaming in the states........doesnt matter if your a regular month to month, or Paygo either way roaming is the cheapest around for wireless in Canada.

Regular 20 cents/minute!
