I just looked into SpeakOut, and it was very tempting - until I found out you can't roam in the US or internationally with it.

Unfortunately, that's a deal breaker.

Hey jawknee. It's really easy if your phone is unlocked as Apple sells them or a Rogers locked phone. You do have to change the APN to Speakout and that's basically it. Easy to do with Apple's iphone config tool which is a short download away.

As John Clay pointed out you can't roam outside of Kanuckistan, so keep that in mind.

Nice. Thanks for the info. It's for a friend.

$10 for unlimited data is very tempting for an iPad, however.

Very true. You can then run a VoIP client on the iPad and you have a big cell phone. You would have to cut the large SIM down to size for an iPad.

I'm with Koodo now after having issues with Fido.

Their rates are alright, though I have the unlimited plan as its my personal/home/business line.

This may be a dumb question, and I'm on my phone, so I'm less inclined to google it, but does a koodo sim work in a telus iPhone?

Apparently not even-though they are the same. I don't know from personal experience.

Koodo is currently advertising to come on over to Koodo and bring your 'other carrier' locked phone with you. So whether they are charging to unlock or eating the unlock cost... you'd have to google or ask Koodo.

I just activated Speakout on my iPad with this $10 unlimited plan and it's working like a charm! I couldn't get data to work with the Speakout sim in my unlocked iPhone, but works perfectly in the iPad... 😁
