Hi,
We'll be settling in Montréal and want to get a mobile 'phone service. We already have unlocked mobiles bought already.
Has anyone any experience of whether Rogers or Videotron would be better?
Of course, Rogers will have the iPhone (once I can convince OH that it's a good idea...)
Thanks,

Not 100% certain but I thought that Rogers was the only GSM provider in Canada with the rest being CDMA. That being the case a UK mobile that uses a SIM card would only work on Rogers.
Hope that helps.

Thats what I thought to that Rogers are the only GSM, although I heard on the grapevine Telus are planning to get in on the GSM act before the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Maybe they're buying capacity from uncle Ted.
