You just have to fake your Android version to appear to be the version they're looking for. Heres hoping WIND Mobile takes off, but given that they only launched in friggan December, i cant have an opinion quite yet. The long and short of it is Telco companies have us by the short hairs up here in Canada. The only reason it works is that the worst things only happen to a low enough percentage for each carrier that after they ragequit and go to the other side, its unlikely for it to happen again to the same person (post 90 day billing errors that are considered valid so long as client wasnt able to ask the right question to a CSSR before the 90 days was up thanks to the Consumer Protection Act, defective merchandise that is considered not covered under warranty but still generated a contract with a valid LTCC charge if cancelled, etc). Two sides that maintain a consistent CHURN back and forth between the two sets of groups generating Long Term Contract Charges and a variety of fine print charges so that when One is considered the evil, users switch to the other (with similar THEY ARE THE WORST rants concerning the business model in either case, rogers OR bell). Two sides that maintain suspiciously close pricing that tends to vary only by small amounts for specific cases. Two sides which somehow magically conviced everyone in the country that it makes sense for them to have doubled the price (two-sided billing) of per usage SMS's from 15c to 30c a piece. Given these details, you see we have effectively two sides only. Some people may mentioned the MVNO's Koodo and SOLO Mobile not realizing that Koodo is effectively a slightly lower margin Telus, and Solo Mobile is Bell (down to the same exact 'customer service' tools, except I believe Solo CSSR's are primarily through Canadian based subcontractors only). Telus and Bell themselves barely compete as their pricing structures are nearly identical beyond minor differences, which makes sense given their Network Sharing Agreements by Rogers. The problem people don't really seem to get about mobile pricing and "competition" in Canada is that it really is a system with only two sides Rogers and Telus/Bell. Won't matter in 5-10 years, but just a heads up. Note: The networks you're mentioning from Telus and Bell are UMTS only, with no 2G GSM support at all.
