SPCS Coverage in Toronto and Barrie, Ontario, Canada?

Imprompteau trip to the Toronto area this weekend. I've checked the SPCS
site and archives of this group, but haven't found any recent data
concerning coverage/roaming and/or dialing instructions while in Toronto.
Anyone have any recent experience to comment on?

Thanks again...

Yeah. Sprint isn't in Canada, so if you can roam, you'll be roaming on a
Canadian CDMA carrier like Telus or Bell Mobility. I don't know how well
roaming works up there, nor am I aware if it costs the same as domestic
roaming.

Last July my wife was in British Columbia and I posted this afterwards:

"The bill shows 50 cents per minute in the Airtime column and zero in
the LD column. This is both for calls from Canada to the US and for
incoming calls (which happened to be from the US). I was expecting an
additional 25 cents per minute LD for outgoing calls to the US, but it
wasn't there."

At the time our plan included the $10 domestic roaming option (a
limited-market predecessor to F&CA).
