In Northern Ontario rogers has more holes than swiss cheese and they haven't bothered to improve it so I'm not going to hold my breath for it to change. |

| Deckster | You're right, I should have said that you only have to worry about getting charged for roaming when you're using a non-Canadian tower. |

Where I am there is more analog coverage than digital (Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario). I guess the poor sound quality and horrible battery life beats the "no signal" that rogers gives. If I had a GSM phone I would have to drive 3 hours to get a signal. TBTel is upgrading the network slowly, and I'm sure someday they will be all digital and rogers will still have no coverage. |

| 17671 | people still use analogue? |

| Deckster | Analog service has nothing to do with roaming. Roaming is when you are using an non-Canadian tower. There is no difference in billing when using analog. If you can, you may want to switch your phone to digital service only to prevent it from switching to analog at all. I've found that in weak service areas if you lock your phone to digital you'll actually have better reception. Just because the phone wants to switch to analog, doesn't mean it will give a usable signal. |
