[Debconf-discuss] (past) DebconfShirt Photo - bring your shirts!
Hi there! We plan to have a special photo taken again this year too: A photo with all the (attendee) shirts from previous debconfs, one from each year. For coordinating this I've put up a page in the wiki about it: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/DebconfShirts Please add your name in there and put an X into the columns for the previous debconf shirts you brought along, if you are willing to participate in this special photo. In case you don't want to be in the photo but can offer missing shirts for someone else to wear that would be a great information too. We'll do some selection once enough people are put in and I'll try to contact the people once the location for the photo is set. Try to not get your selected shirt dirty before the photo. ;) Let's make this a great and diverse picture again! We need you!

Also, for anyone coming from the US, I believe t-mobile provides call/text/data in Canada and Mexico with no extra charges, but I'd suggest double-checking your particular arrangement to be sure. I imagine that also means that you could buy a prepaid sim before leaving, -- or even postpaid, and only keep it for a month (assuming they no longer have contracts).

[Debconf-discuss] Borrowing a Mobile Phone for DebCamp/Conf
Hi, It seems that none of the 3 mobiles that I have with me are willing to play in Canada for one reason or another, so I could do with borrowing one. I'm guessing that someone on the way to DebConf, or here already, has a spare phone gathering dust in a drawer somewhere (I know I do *sigh*) so if that is you, and you're happy to lend me it, please mail me. BTW I don't care how dumb the phone -- in fact, the dumber the better if that means a decent battery life. I also don't care about data, just calls and SMS.

I'm curious if any of these 3 mobile phones have quad-band GSM support. If so,
then those would work fine in Canada. Rogers still runs a 2G network so as
long as your phone supports 850/1900 MHz for GSM ("2G"), as quad-band phones
do, you can use their network (nearly all worldwide carriers have roaming
agreements with Rogers).
It's pretty rare for a phone built in the past 5 years or so to not have
quad-band GSM, though it's possible some parts of the world still don't have a
lot of them.

Then 2G should work very well for you. And if you want a prepaid SIM from
Rogers, it shouldn't be too terribly expensive either.
