[quote=Edchris177]I just got back from a million degrees in Shanghai. Virgin also functions up here. In B.C. Telus is the biggest player.
Who are you using now? Some of the bigger players will give you a temporary travelers plan in other countries, you use your own phone.
Unlocked is not nearly as common here as other countries. In addition, not all the major carriers use the same frequencies, & so not all phones work with all carriers. I can't remember offhand which major uses the old TDM(time division multiple) & it is not compatible with the newer tech.
Another option if you can't get a deal from your carrier is to just go to a drugstore & buy a prepaid phone.
I'm not very savvy on phone technology, I gave mine to my wife a year ago...keeps work from finding me when I want to ski or sail! I'll make some inquiries tomorrow & get back to you. Headed to the lakehouse for 10 days.[/quote]
