My question is : would it be possible to straight up buy a Telus Milestone in Ontario or something, bring it to Manitoba and then activate it through Telus that way?

I love the deceptive advertising they use. Only a very small portion of customers can even use HSPA+ as only mobile 3G USB devices can currently support HSPA+ and Bell, Telus and Rogers only carry one model each.There are currently NO HSPA+ handsets available on the market. For a true comparison Rogers HSPA (not +)network is as big or larger since they actually cover Manitoba and Sask, but they will never admit to that.

Historically they have not cooperated with either Bell or Telus to enter those markets (eg tower sharing or attractive roaming agreements). This has made it uneconomical for Bell or Telus to enter those markets in a meaningful way. Now, in 2010, Sasktel and MTS have finally realized that they need to partner with others in order to build out large HSPA+ networks at a reasonable cost. Finally, there are signs that they will cooperate with others and bring competition. @Sid

MTS and Sasktel are very protective of their markets. Historically they have not cooperated with either Bell or Telus to enter those markets (eg tower sharing or attractive roaming agreements). This has made it uneconomical for Bell or Telus to enter those markets in a meaningful way.

Now, in 2010, Sasktel and MTS have finally realized that they need to partner with others in order to build out large HSPA+ networks at a reasonable cost. Finally, there are signs that they will cooperate with others and bring competition.

I regularly travel from Calgary to Regina and Winnipeg. Would like one of these phones but if I can't get any service on the road then they are pretty much useless.
