Reasonable roaming rates are back for Canadian GSM customers (postpaid only)

VladS

Fido and Rogers introduced new International Roaming packs that finally give postpaid customers reasonable rates overseas.

Full details can be found here: http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/F...oInternational

As an example, the CALA (Caribbean & Latin America) pack gives you up to 70 minutes of use for C$90 and the overage is $1.29. CALA includes both Cuba and Mexico, well known for expensive roaming.

I guess we are going to lose Vlad here. He is going to just trade in Sim4Travel, eKit, and Asterisks server for the new Roger's discounted international roaming.

I do agree with Vlad about Cuba, however. That is a bargain.

I wouldn't go that far. They would need to drop their rates by at least another 50% to get me to get rid of my ziploc bag full of SIM cards.
