Rogers or Fido prepaid (more details coming) - They are slightly more expensive (maybe $40 or $45 per month) please go ahead and expense the full amount of your prepaid card - we don't blame you for Canada's problems with cellular rates.
==Existing Rogers or Fido customers who want to use their existing SIM==
 
* You are very committed to the success of Firefox OS and we appreciate that!
Note: Any Bell/Telus reseller (eg Virgin Mobile) '''will not work''' with the Unagi test driver phone, as these carriers don't have an EDGE network, and the Unagi isn't compatible with their 3G frequencies. WIND, Mobilicity, Public Mobile are all in the same boat. Rogers/Fido and resellers are your only option.
* Insert your SIM and ensure Data is turned on in the Settings app
* Expense $40-$45 of your monthly bill
