eKit Simple Calling in Canada - roams on Bell now

[RTuesday]

Ekit works fine for both outbound and inbound on Telus 3G in British Columbia, which is odd if it's the shared network with Bell and Sasktel.

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).

I have found that texts sent via my E it sim card are not being received my MTS customers in Manitoba Canada.

I also found that if I use the Telus network with Ekit and send a text, the messages gets in a loop and will resend the text every minute for up to 20 minutes.

Ekit - a pain so far!

Look up their customer service number on their web site or in your paperwork and tell them. They really can't fix things if they do not know they are broken. Ekit has been around longer than almost all their competition. They will fix things if they know about them. Most people here have had very good experience with them.
