Telus and Bell switched to GSM because their old networks were falling apart, and because they were missing out on roaming fees from international customers. On top of that, there were a bundle of phones that they couldn't get, or which showed up later on CDMA.
Bell and Telus spending billions of dollars to get the iPhone is a ridiculous notion. Bell and Telus spending billions of dollars to get a new, next-gen 3G network, with higher speeds and the ability to use data while a voice call is in progress.
- wvenable 16y agoYour point is valid but the fact remains that both companies offer and heavily promote only one GSM phone: the iPhone. That was all I was trying to get at.
- rbanffy 16y agoTheir initial GSM offer may be iPhones (which sell easily), but I believe they will gradually migrate to GSM-only at some point in the future.
