If you are in Toronto, go to the Pacific Mall (Steeles/Kennedy).

Just received a notice in the post yesterday, Fido appears to have integrated its network with Rogers. Fido customers now able to use an "expanded network" at $0.25/minute but billed by the second, or a flat fee of $5/month for unlimited use.
Now it seems that everytime I open my mailbox, something new from fido pops out.

I too received the pay per use or flat fee expanded network notice. The other little bit in there is that after early August 2005, you can no longer roam on an analog network while travelling in places like YXY, YZF etc.. (I guess the analog agreement was with Bell or Telus).

What a pisser!
