Using my T-Mo S3 in Toronto?

[Incitatus]

I am curious if any of the service providers in the Toronto area would allow me to purchase a 30 day sim card for calls and data?

I just noticed the story on the main page regarding the UK and was curious if our Canadian pals offered anything like this?

Also, which providers are up there that I could look into? I think I recall Rogers as being one.

Thank you

The top 4 in the first link would be your best bet for a prepaid or discounted SIM card while you are there. Let us know what you decide to go with and if possible, share your thoughts on how things went. It would be helpful to other users in the same situation.

I actually checked out the Wind Mobile website, found that they sell SIM cards to use on their pay as you go tier. I then called T-Mobile, explained that I was going to be out of country for 10 days and requested an unlock code. 24 hours later I had the unlock code in my email account. Hit a Wind store as soon as I crossed border, bought and setup an account, dropped the SIM in my phone and viola!

The wind broadband is listed as 4g, but is a bit slower than what I'm used to. Quite tolerable, quite pleased with how it all worked out. Cheaper than buying a new phone.
