Pink zone is unlimited, grey is pay per use anybody know how much pay per use will be lol

edit: found it.. fml 20¢/min text 10¢ per use data $5/Mb

The gray area is part of the "Mobilicity Nationwide Coverage". You're talking about the "Province-Wide Long Distance" / "Canadian Long Distance" Which is....say if you're in Vancouver...calling to someone at Prince George.

ah makes sense thanks!

probably can't see myself switching over due to a lack of phone selection (i should've gotten the n1 when i had the chance)

but kind of funny i called rogers just to see when my contract ends and the girl explicitly told me to call back for retentions tomorrow and they'll probably work a deal out for data, which I don't have. i wonder if they'll just straight up match mobilicity's rate.

I'm going to call Rogers tomorrow or Friday to ask them to match up with Mobilicity for me too.

I made that call yesterday and went from $85 taxes in to $61 for all I need. This is higher than Mobilicity, but I am still happy.

The guy from Rogers explained that they have three brands:
1. Premium brand - Rogers
2. Medium - Fido
3. Some brand just like Mobilicity but I can't remember the name.

Mobilicity is "renting" usage of big player's towers and offers such rates because they put more people on the "same line". This is why Rogers (being premium) cannot match that price as you will have better quality connection with Rogers.

Sounded plausible to me, so I decided to stay with them.
