I'm happy with Rogers service and coverage (I don't travel much off the
major highways in Sask.) I just do TDMA because U.S. roaming is cheaper
than GSM and used to be a bit better/cheaper than SaskTel. I also like my
trusty old Nokia phone which just works (tm) and works well.

My main complaint is their rates have been slowly creeping upward.

Once number portability comes in next year as scheduled (hopefully), I'll
probably look at switching.
