The early cancellation fee with telus really does bite. I'm not sure if any of you would agree with this but, GSM is the "more popular" network around the world, hence, high demand for new/cool products. I just saw the new Samsung D600 and my jaw dropped, unfortunately im on a telus contract (2 years left) and the D600 is a GSM phone just released in europe but it is extremely cool and i want it, sadly for me it will not work with the CDMA networks
i was pretty excited when telus launched there global roaming card that you can use with GSM phones to roam around the world, but my bubble was burst when i called them and they told me it wouldn't work locally where the CDMA network was available. OH WELL, no 2 megapixel, 1 gig memory, mp3 player, word/powerpoint/pdf file viewer, bluetooth phone for me =(

I used Rogers for years. Then one day my phone wouldn't connect to the network. I called their 800 number, They said my phone was cloned in The Philippines so they cancelled my service. I owned a fully-optioned phone with multiple batteries, charges, in-car kit, leather case, etc. They said too bad you have to buy a new phone.
I switched to Fido because they offered GSM. Great around town. Lousy elsewhere. But I could transfer my SIM card to a new phone and keep my number, address book and setting.
Finally switched to Telus. Great coverage and service (for a telco). That was 3.5 years ago. I travel a lot and spend 2 or 3 months outside any Telus coverage. So I bought a GSM phone to use in Spain and Mexico (with local SIM cards from Vodafone and Telcel respectively.
Now I am going to use the GSM phone with Rogers and switch my Telus phone to Pay&Talk for my wife.

Do you know if Rogers is still offering the ultd incoming minutes?
Rogers no-longer offer 100 Canadian LD minutes on their unlimited incoming, but instead, they make early evening available to that plan, in way, i think it's better.
$30
100 minutes daytime + 1000 minutes nights(6pm to 7am) and weekends.
unlimited incoming.

Can anyone comment on the voice quality and integrity (i.e. dropped calls) of Telus vs Rogers??
I know this varies from place to place, but I'll be moving to Montreal soon - if someone can tell me the situation in Montreal, it'd be great...
