So with the $40 unlimited plan, I'd still be charged Long Distance even if I was in Toronto under the Mobilicity network calling another Toronto number?

What about texting?

Thanks, this should be my last question

Nope for both, i called up mobilicity and talk to a store rep to double confirm . As long as you're inside a moblicity zone, don't matter where the hell you are in Canada if you're inside a mobilcity zone, it's free.

Ex: you have a vancouver number, travel to T.O. (i do that a few times a year.) and i use my cell to call a T.O. # or Vancouver #. It's still free.

I got fed up with the htc snap and went back to the store to report the problem. They offered to just replace the same phone or with something else. Upgraded to the 3g curve. Data and call quality is definitely faster and better. It just harder to text as the keyboard is smaller than on the snap.

you will see roaming in alot of places atm, because in the Mobilicity zone, normally the Rogers towers are off, atm, they are in the process of optimizing the network, leaving those towers on, therefore your phone will pick up the strongest signal avail, that being rogers hence the roaming.

if you leave it on manual search, and stick with Mobilicity, you will have a better idea of how good the coverage/reception is.

Data is slightly still pretty bad for me. Also went down in speed since yesterday. Before I was barely getting data but when I did it was ~1.75 mbps. Now I'm slightly better than barely getting data but speeds around 0.80 mbps.

Faster, I get it.

But stronger? Do you mean signal strength?

Well, I do hope you understand how UMTS works.

A Node-B will shrink and expand its coverage footprint depending on the amount of users (or phones) in the area. The more users, the smaller the coverage and as a domino effect, the slower your data speeds (relatively.) This is a feature called cell breathing and is based on power control on the serving cell site.

the curve i have used to not be able to stream. it now works and confirmed in a forum in hofo.

the x10 i have started with intermittent internet. on off on off.

its been on pretty steadily with a 1 hour stream now, no problems. Couldnt stream longer cuz of the strain 4" does to the eyes.

but i do believe its gettin better day by day. I still have not had a dropped call actually.
