      I'm curious, too.  Do you live in Canada or just visiting?  The USA (and other) versions can be unlocked.  So if you end up needed to use a local SIM this is a possibility as well.  Though you will likely have to manually enter the APN.

       

      AT&T claims I should be able to roam with my MR1100 there and use my unlimited plus data plan "just like at home."  Similarly, I should be able to roam to all of Europe for $10/day.  Has anyone tried?  

       

      When I roamed to Canada last year using my cheap ZTE 917 Tmo hotspot which has limited band support, connectivity was very hit or miss.  Typically once I got away from the US border it didn't work at all.  Hopefully the combination of the MR1100 and AT&T will work better.

    Hi, 

     

    The AT&T nighthawk M1 would work with Bell in Canada, but you must make sure your Nighthawk M1 is SIM unlocked.  The Telstra may not be good to use with Bell.
