@ProfCrash: see daffy4u's post earlier in the thread; it sure looks like the Canadian model is exactly the same as the US model. I'm guessing Amazon has worked out some roaming deal with a local carrier, but similarly to you, that's just a guess.  |
I am sure that Amazon gets charged a reduced roaming fee but would probably prefer to avoid the fee altogether. The best way to do that is to have one model using a chip that works best, ie cheapest fees, in the US and one chip for everywhere else that uses a different cell phone system.
