T Mobile in Canada

Does anyone know whether T Mobile pay as you go works in Canada ? According to their website it does, but neither Orange or Vodafone payg work out there, so I have some concerns

This may be of help http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ca.shtml

ICE does not have any roaming partners but the other networks do. But there can be problems depending on which band your cellphone operates in.

Tmobile DOES have partner networks in Canada.

That's what it says in my link. But one of the networks in Canada does NOT have any 'official' roaming agreements.

You could of course possibly avoid the roaming charges completely by buying one of these sims to use the network in Canada.

You will of course need an unlocked tri-band phone (GSM1900).
