Important info for Bell customers:
If you have ever used your current Bell phone in Manitoba, you need to call Bell before going into the store to pre-order the iPhone 5. There is a feature called "allow Manitoba roaming" that needs to be removed before you can upgrade.
Of course I was concerned- I still visit Manitoba once or twice a year. I did some reading online and had the Bell CSR on the phone also explain it to me. This is a leftover from when Bell used Rogers towers to provide coverage in Manitoba. They now use the same network as Telus, so this is not needed any longer. The one thing I am not sure of though is Western Manitoba. I was still getting 2G in July; and that may have been on Rogers' system. (looking at the Bell coverage map.)
I am really only concerned about Winnipeg and Grand Beach; so I felt OK to remove it.
