Much cheaper alternative at the expense of a trip out to Point Roberts. Never used them myself, but a friend has.

North America is a fracking mess when it comes to wireless compatibility. This is one thing the Europeans got very, very right. @J.Soul: To follow up on Nathan’s response.

It only supports AWS frequencies for 3G. @J.Soul: It’s because the phone’s HSDPA frequency is not compatible with the frequency that Rogers HSDPA works on. It only supports AWS frequencies for 3G.

You can use 2G for slow data and regular phone use on Rogers but no 3G on Rogers. And this phone won't work at all on Bell or Telus.
