There is a dead thread on the Fido forum from 2006 regarding GSM finally coming to Whitehorse, allowing "outsiders" to roam in the Great White North.

Well it's now the end of 2009, and still all we have is CDMA, never mind roaming access, us locals want GSM too!

Unfortunately, we are still imprisonned by this Bell monopoly who only just a few years ago replaced the analog network for a digital one. Why oh why didn't they choose GSM over CDMA when already everyone else on the planet was converting, only cheapness can explain I guess.

I've heard through the grapevine that Virgin and a couple of other providers will show up in Whitehorse in the coming months, but have found no such press releases on the internet.

Any new provider would still have to deal with Bell's evil infrastructure costs, so I don't know how much better things would get. Someone has to do some government lobbying done to break this monopoly and encourage other companies...

Hi, i'm just wondering that if I buy a phone that is from a different service company... ie: telus, bell, rogers... Which of these companies phones would work for MTS?? Specifically i'm looking at replacing a blackberry Curve-8330 for my plan, and would like to do this inexpensively.

Can you convert a nextel,sprint cellphone carrier to a Cellular One carrier?

Does anyone what the Metro PCS MMS gateway is?

Thanks

I found this one website that said that. I am just wondering how trustworthy is really is.
