| Bell or Rogers plan for iPhone 4S?
I'm about to buy a 32gb iPhone 4S and was wondering which $50 plan was better? Bell or Rogers? Including Caller ID, Rogers will be cheaper than Bell by $4/month. But the main point is, which company is better in terms of reception and data speed?

Also if you don't mind travelling, look for places in like Tsawwassen/White Rock/Abbotsford.

Rogers has better reception around the Lowermainland. It also supports 2G in when 3G doesn't work, or when you want to save battery.
Edit: Wait nvm iPhone 4S cannot even switch between 3G/2G.. it can only turn data on/off. Fail.

Isn't bell and rogers now using the same network towers? GSM? Or something? I'm sure but I forgot the same cuz Rogers had to cancel "fastest network in canada" after bell upgraded their network Posted via RS Mobile | |

No. They are separate. Bellus has their own towers and are now offering up to "4G" type speeds.

Rogers uses a GSM + HSPA network.
Bell and Telus uses the same CDMA + HSPA network.
Reception-wise, Rogers is better, Im using Rogers and I can still get reception inside T&T at metrotown. My brother who is on Telus cannot. And I heard Bell has the same issue too at that part of metrotown.
Data speed, Bell is faster.

My friend is with Rogers and he says his 3G changes to E and his reception dies when he's in the skytrain underground.

You won't see any difference on Rogers until their LTE network with an LTE phone.

My friend is with Rogers and he says his 3G changes to E and his reception dies when he's in the skytrain underground. | 4S supports faster throughput at about 14.4mbps
Skytrain tunnels have always been like that. The only skytrain tunnels that you'll get good data is in the Canada Line as they have cellular repeaters in the tunnels.

KK. So i got it from Rogers. What's the fastest way to get my contacts from a Fido Nokia SIM onto my iPhone? Should I put my microsim onto the full SIM tray and copy contacts from my nokia?
