Default Question re: Rogers Wireless

Please Login to Remove!

Is Rogers a GSM based network? I'm going to Canada next week, and would like to find somewhere to buy a prepaid SIM card to use while I am there. Could I do this with Rogers? Any other companies I could do this with?

My T-Mobile 8100 is unlocked.

Yes, Rogers runs on GSM. Rogers Wireless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can use Fido too which is owned by Rogers now.

FYI: You won't be able to get BlackBerry data on a prepaid SIM

Look for a pre paid sim card online if you can as it'll be cheaper. Sim cards used to be $25 in Rogers/Fido stores, resellers, etc... I heard the cost has increased and are now $40 which is pretty expensive for a sim card.
