Nice report! Not sure if Rogers et al up offer a prepaid monthly plan or similar, but wouldn't that, and a new SIM card be obtainable w/o a Canadian address? (hopefully I'm not misunderstanding how the tech works) The ShureFlo is a nice pump upgrade. I also found a foot switch to be of great use too. Thanks for the report on the upgrades. Neil.
