Canada coverage

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

Hi all,

I'm on a Cingulat Nation GSM plan, was wondering if I'll be able to get any
sort of coverage in the Toronto area.. (the Cingular coverage maps are USA
only, so I have no idea what happens when you cross the border)

You'll get coverage, but you'll pay
astonishingly large amounts for it.

The Cingular website says it's $0.79/minute, and on Fido or
Rogers at 1900 MHz. Also says phone in to CS and ask for
international roaming.

Check their coverages here:

You'll have coverage through Microcell or through Rogers Wireless
which are roaming partners of cingular. Microcell is a 1900 GSM
operator. Rogers is both 850 and 1900.

International roaming for Canada????? That's very different than
T-Mobile where all customers automatically get Canadian roaming. You
only have to request international roaming if you're going to
Europe/Asia/Africa/Mexico.
