My first assumption was they don't cater to Canadians as usual, but after seeing the coverage map I was hopeful.
Attempted to request an invite but it doesn't allow Canadian postal codes (ie: V5H 2T3), only stuff like 90210.
Sigh.

If we didn't have so many rules for things like this, it would be great, but I honestly don't see this moving into Canada quickly at all.
On the East Cost, we have two companies who own towers and sell access to them to other companies like fido,virgin etc. I can't see them selling access to the towers any cheaper...
IIRC, the CRTC and the Canadian incumbents wouldn't allow something like that.
Ting Mobile is US-only, also resells Sprint and T-mobile, and their headquarters are in Toronto (!).
It's a certain kind of schadenfreude when you talk to a Customer Service Representative in Ontario for a service that doesn't actually work there.
Looks like it blankets most of Canada with 2G service. I guess through roaming agreements from Sprint/T-Mo. I wonder if they are selling to Canadian residents?
