after price hunting for the phone, now is the headache part...
carrier hunting!
so far this is what i've gathered:
1. Virgin
$50 (student plan)
200 mins
unlimited evening + weekends 6pm
500 mb
unlimited text
voicemail 10 + call display
TOTAL: $50
2. Telus
$55 (student plan - yes, they'll let you join regardless of being a student or not)
200 mins
unlimited evening + weekends 6pm
1 gb
unlimited text + talk to 10 numbers
voicemail 3
+ $8 call display
TOTAL: $63
3. Koodo
$25 (Build your own plan)
150 mins
+ $12 Voicemail + call display + unlimited evening + weekends 5pm
+ $25 Data for $0.05/MB (which means $25 for 500 mb)
TOTAL: $62
*You can use pay-per-use which is cheaper than monthly data*
4. Fido
$50 (student or normal voice + data plan)
100 mins
unlimited evening + weekends 7pm
500 mb
unlimited text
+ $10 voicemail + call display
TOTAL: $60
i'm thinking of switching to virgin mobile.
the only thing i'll have to check is which company can i join with an unlocked phone.
koodo most likely can't get my business because they run on cdma, so a gsm phone wouldn't work.
so virgin, which uses Bell's cdma and gsm networks, might be workable.
looking forward to less dropped calls.
100 mins is totally not enough.
