Guys,
Seems I may have shot my mouth off a little prematurely about the cellular coverage quality.

Our main cell providers, like Rogers, are quickly switching all systems to GSM. In fact they are offering free phones to their customers who are still using CDMA & TDMA telephones and as their CDMA/TDMA services i.e towers, break down they are not fixing them.

Because of my switch to GSM / Blackberry 3 years ago I'd not noticed an interruption in service.

So if you're visiting Canada with a non GSM cell phone you may have problems connecting.

Apologies.

Peter
