eKit Simple Calling in Canada - roams on Bell now

I don't remember if I tried placing an outgoing call when I was at home in Saskatchewan. The phone certainly registers and takes incoming calls. I'm home next weekend and if I remember, I will try it on Sunday and see what happens.

I have a PagePlus phone too (CDMA and roams in Canada) and while it works perfectly in Saskatchewan, it only works for incoming calls in Newfoundland - at least as of 2009. I wonder if that issue is related. Newfoundland is Bell Aliant and so is Nova Scotia, but Saskatchewan is technically SaskTel (although their HSPA network broadcasts the Bell code also).
