What kind of hook ups? I'm interested.
Looking into changing to moblicity but only thing holding me back is contract(6month voice/18month data left) buy-out for fido and needing to buy a new phone.

noob question.

Am i able to use my mobilicity sim card in my unlocked iphone and SE?

I just tried it, and it works fine.

My only concern is. On the screen, its says Canadian roaming.

Is this going to charge me extra even tho i am in the coverage area?

Thanks.

Yes, eventually it will charge you extra.

i need help before I give up my Mobilicity unlimited data.

I have N900 with joikuspot (wifi tethering program) that gets cut off and not sure if it's Mobilicity or my phone cutting the data off. I had it working once or twice. Browsing on N900 is not a problem, but i have to get tethering working.

I know there's Nexus for AW1700 with Android 2.2 with build in wifi tethering. I dont mind getting it for the price, but i need to make sure wifi tethering is indeed working without cutting off. Anyone has Nexus on Mobilicity and uses wifi tethering all the time?

Thanks for any help.

maybe somethings up with your n900, but then again, tethering, and doing what with it?

Nexus One, or even the X10i is fine, root the Android phone, download Barnacle app. and wifi tether all you want!

Thanks. I use data part once a week and with wifi tethering, I can share the Internet with my wife in my inlaw's house when we visit them.

I tested out BELL phone in BB with 2.2 built in wifi tethering and works beautifully with my iPod right on the spot. But everyone charges data/voice over $50 easily except Mobilicity.

Free roaming for Vancouver Mobilicity customers is over

I don't use them but came across this on HoFo.

Quote:
Update: Free roaming for Vancouver Mobilicity customers is over



A few weeks back Mobilicity extended their generosity to their Vancouver customers by giving them free roaming. The reason for this was because their network was still being optimized and customers were getting “CDN Roaming” while in the Mobilicity coverage area. An update for you as an internal doc states that the “Optimization of the network in Vancouver is finished, therefore there is no more 0 rated roaming”.

• All phones will default to the strongest signal so at times you will see roaming while in the Mobilicity coverage area.
• Roaming towers will be shut off to prevent in-coverage roaming.

In addition, the free social networking promo ends tonight. This included the sites Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Bebo and FourSquare. Unless you have the unlimited data Add-on you will be charged data usage for the social networking.
You can follow the HoFo thread here:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...r-Roaming-Over

Don't think so since the 9800 isn't AWS. Maybe one day BlackBerry will make an AWS version then you will see Mobilicity and Wind selling them.

All of a sudden I now have full bars down in the basement. Just this morning I would had to hug a window to get signal. Now I can walk freely. Anyone else notice any difference?
