I just spent 3 days in Vancouver, B.C., and was pleased to find that Canada roaming worked with my TMo2Go service. I found that while I was in Canada, it said "Rogers Wireless" on the screen instead of "T- Mobile." I gather that's the carrier TMo uses for Canada roaming.
So on the way back, I was sitting on the train at the border, with the customs agents and drug-sniffing dogs doing their thing. I turned the phone on, and it said Rogers Wireless. I laid it on the tray and figured it would be fun to see when it changed back to saying T- Mobile. When the train started to move, I remembered about this 10 seconds later and picked up the phone. The screen had gone dark, so I hit a key to light it up again, and it said T-Mobile. This got me thinking about how all this works. I find it hard to believe that the coverage areas of the T-Mobile and Rogers towers get cut off at the border, esp. when the border is an irregular shape. (Where I was, it just runs along the 49th parallel--we didn't make good on "54-40 or fight" way back when!) I'm guessing that the phone locks onto a T-Mobile tower if it can find one and goes into Plan B if it can't. - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
