"That 24-month period gave the incumbents all the time in the world to create the Chatrs of the world, create the Koodos of the world", Mr. Lacavera said, referring to the discount brands launched by Rogers and Telus in response to the threat from the new entrants.
All my posts are my own opinion only and not necessarily that of any of my employers, past or present.
Data should work if the APN is set up on the phone.
Many phones do this as soon as you put your sim card in. (Nokia's for example).
2010 = Sony Ericsson x10a, iPhone 4 32GB
>*<<*<*
2009 = iPhone 3G (White), Blackberry 8900, HTC Dream, Blackberry 9000, Blackberry Bold 9700
>*<<*<*
2008 = Sony Ericsson w810i, Nokia N95-3, Nokia E71-2, Blackberry Bold
>*<<*<*
2007 = Nokia 5300, Nokia N73ME, Sony Ericsson W580i, Sony Ericsson K850i
>*<<*<*
2006 = Samsung A740, Samsung D600, Samsung D900, Samsung A900, Nokia 3220
wow, how could they stop people anyway...
Banning cell phones, thats stupid...
...yet they've been doing it for over two years and still do for all other phones![]()

I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet. Bell could easily implement technology to prevent unlocked devices.
Would a Rogers' Nokia E71 (unlocked) work on the new Bell network.. or is it not HSPA?!

I don't think you understand how roaming works.Originally Posted by thejinx0r
I have a Verizon phone (which is locked to the carrier), and it roams just fine in Canada.
Carriers would rather you roam on their networks from foreign carriers, than buy prepaid cards on local networks with unlocked devices. Roaming revenue is a huge cash cow.
that's amazing news! now i can find a storm2 on a US network for 2/3 the price of a bell one!
can't wait! lets just hope that everything including the data will work fine.

Rogers does, pretty much everyone I know is with fido/rogers, not one used/uses it. I dont think Rogers even offers plans for it anymore. Flopped bigtime. Doubt bell will reinvent the wheel.Originally Posted by doan_1
