I can't remember if I saw it here already or not, but I thought I'd report in case it's news.

eKit Simple Calling SIMs now roam on Bell in Canada in addition to Rogers. Confirmed, just now, in Regina, Saskatchewan (Bell has no native coverage here but it has a roaming agreement with SaskTel and the SaskTel towers transmit Bell's code as well as Telus' and their own).

This will be handy because my main Canadian coverage is with Rogers but we're about to go to Nova Scotia, and the Bell coverage footprint is quite a bit larger than Rogers'. We can use eKit as a backup.

Anyway, I thought I'd report in case this is useful to anyone else.
