i love how people make it sound like 911 services only began due to the proliferation of cellular telecommunication. *news flash* people got along just fine before cellphones became ubiquitous.]]>Sep 18th 2008 6:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/]]>Sep 19th 2008 5:23AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/Sep 18th 2008 8:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/Sep 19th 2008 3:09AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/09/18/telus-announces-lights-out-for-analog-network-not-a-dry-eye-in/
MTS in Manitoba on the other hand has its head up its derriere, they won't allow Telus do the same kind of roaming that SaskTel is now allowing, and on the flipside, MTS customers are sometimes out of luck when roaming on Telus in Alberta/BC (ie data).

SaskTel and MTS are the only options for the rural folk in Sask/Manitoba since Rogers doesn't have many towers, and Telus doesn't provide local numbers (or didn't before). When I visit my parents farm, I can see an MTS tower right out the window and I live in an area with only 50 or so people, and I can't get a signal on Rogers if my life depended on it.]]>Sep 19th 2008 2:12AM
