[GTALUG] Alternative to Rogers

[Tim Tisdall]

The only problem with Freedom Mobile is you need a phone that supports
AWS frequencies, so if your current phone doesn't support that then it
means buying a new phone.  A few years ago an additional problem was
losing a signal in dead zones, but that seems to almost never happen
to me any more.
