Re: Using bell GPS in the US
Turn your data off in the USA or be prepared for a VERY large bill. Unlike other providers, Bell does not offer a decent package for USA roaming... at least the guy I spoke to at Bell had nothing to offer. They are a for-profit company currently undergoing a management change in Canada.... and like most Canadian carriers.... they are best at picking our pockets. I can't wait for the new carrier to come to Canada now that Canada is offering more bandwidth for sale. My guess is that Google will be filling that void with their new ad supported free cell phone service.

I go between Canada and the USA constantly because my wife actually lives in the USA and I live in Canada. When I hit the border... my Bell cell gets tossed in the glove box in off mode and I use my Cricket service in the USA. Cricket coverage sucks bad but it at least covers Salt Lake City where I spend all my time when down below the 49th parallel.
