But my situation seems a little bit different from yours. I bought a iphone 4 last month. I checked with others to make sure SO sim is ok for iphone. Then I decided to port over no. to SO.

For just experiment purpose, you know, iphone 4's sim needs to be cut to fit, I try to cut both my FIDO and ROGERS sim to check if they are accepted or not. I clearly remembered that the signal bar were absolutely the same with my old phones. I even hold it outside the window to see if there is any change with this so-call " capable of doing anything" phone.

So, I am still very confusing.............

Cheer to all, you guys are really helping! Have a very great weekend! And the coming weekdays too. 😉

Cheers

But my first Fido phone is Nokia, which I thrown away soon, then Rogers, they just always stuck for very important conversations. Then I asked others if they have same experiences. There comes all the jokes.

We keep changing carriers just for trying to survive.............

Maybe Canada is a "developed" country, all infrastructures were built in early days. You know, as for telecom, the later the better and cheaper.

I do not work in this area, (I mean telecom), but would like to find out the reason for why 7/11 is getting so "strong" under big guy's lousy own performance.

😆 Yeah, I've got tons of stories of myself and my friends like this kind. Sometimes we would go extreme for just trying to get signals, acting like comedian Mr. Beans

Ok, this is really really good to hear, and strange enough , I know that SO is using Rogers network, my phone works much much better than my old rogers, not to mention Fido. Anyone knows why?

I've noticed the same thing! I had a Fido plan before switching to SO, and I figured since they both use Rogers' network, I'd get about the same reception. But SO's reception is MUCH better. With Fido, I had to practically lean out my bedroom window to make a call. With SO, I get 3, sometimes 4 bars in the innermost rooms in my basement, with no windows at all. Maybe it's the phone, but I thought my Fido phone was the top of the line when I got it, so I really don't know what the difference is.

I've been sending and receiving texts on the 25th, 26th and 27th with no problems at all, as far as I can tell. I'm in Vancouver... I wonder if that makes a difference. We all know what Torontonians really mean when they say "across Canada"! 😉

Maybe the population in GTA is much more than metro Vancouver.

Apparently their servers are really backed up because of an outage today... Apparently this is across Canada.

Is there something I should know about settings somewhere? Some special SO ports/IPs or something?
