It's unfortunate really when it boils down to a frequency limitation which appears unnecessary to build into any device these days. It seems to follow suit however with other areas of hardware corner-cutting and cost savings.

Canada is not much differernt from the US in terms of frequencies. T-Mobile is/was the parallel reference for a long time in relation to reasonably affordable service providers in Canada.

I would need to switch my carrier in order to use a Jolla in Canada. I'm not so sure it's worth the hassle. Certainly not the cost! It's looking more and more like next generation Jolla devices for us here in North America. At a glance Jolla LTE isn't looking promising for supported frequencies in Canada.
