eKit Simple Calling in Canada - roams on Bell now

More information:

Incoming calls work fine via Bell, but outgoing calls are blocked.

I sent a message to customer service this morning and was advised that while incoming calls would work fine, outgoing calls were definitely not supported. The representative was silent on the issue of whether this might change.

I replied encouraging eKit to allow outgoing calls via Bell in future because it would greatly increase the utility of their product. Presumably an incoming call minute with Bell costs the same as an outgoing call minute, and the only issue is getting notification from Bell that the outgoing call is being made so that the account can be charged accordingly. Hopefully this can be done because there are several provinces (NS, NL and SK) where Bell's network kicks Rogers' butt.
