I dont think so as the promo would be over by then.

Go to the plaza/small mall on Commercial and 1st Ave. It'll be on the North West side of the street. Ask for Ed/Sam and tell that Chris sent you from RS. They'll hook you up!

And no. The $25 is a special promo that differs from the $40. You have to pick one and cannot switch over to the other. Though word is that the $40 dollar plan comes and goes but the $25 is special.

I just activated on a new number and the reception is pretty good. No troubles yet on my E73 and internet speeds are pretty good. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'll give it a month/two and if I like it, I'll switch over and sell my rogers plan.

Hey what's your new number? How is it working inside sfu? LMK bra!

A good app if you got an iphone/android is budphone (bud light phone) its free VOIP for when you don't got service!

I just got it today. Will test out on Monday and let you know.

I'm still using my roger's number but also have a new mobilicity number.

I feel like such a drug dealer.

*edit:
Friend said that the tower for SFU should be going up around the new year so hopefully there'll be good reception then.

Should also note that I've been getting full bars on E73 all over East Vancouver.

Port credits of $50 for 25 plan and $100 for 40 plan. FYI.

[What_the?]

I signed up on the $25 BTS plan at Aberdeen mall using a motorola spice that I picked up for cheap, to see if the network was any good.

Seemed pretty decent, so I went back to pick up an HTC Panache for the $299 discounted price, and then the people at Aberdeen feed me some weird BS story about how it's only for "new" activations. I told them I just activated with them 3 weeks ago, and noone told me about this clause, nor was it on the Mobi website. They said the cutoff is "2 weeks", and I'd have to pay the $499 or sign up ANOTHER number, pay a months charges, and then cancel that number and get the phone that way. So i'd essentially be eating a month's charges and whatever fees involved.

I ended up finding a Mobilicity dealer on Lougheed Hwy where the save on foods is near brentwood that just sold it to me straight out for the discounted price. In fact, their price was $279! Even lower for a brand new phone! No activating some extra account BS. No cash grab to try and score more commission off activations.

So beware of who you're getting your accounts activated from. Bunch of scammers at Aberdeen unfortunately.

[What_the?]

On a brighter note, reception has been very good for me in the Vancouver/Richmond areas that I typically hang out in. The Panache has been an amazing phone, I was able to install Swype, so it makes text input way easier. I love the ability to use it as a WIFI hotspot since my data is unlimited, and I found a cracked Netflix app that works on the panache, so I can stream unlimited movies on unlimited data!

Few places I get poor reception are maybe deep into certain stores in some malls (out in the normal open areas it's fine in all the malls). One spot in the corner of Copa cafe. And I think just the random odd spots in underground parking lots and things. No complaints about call quality or dropped calls at all.

Coincidentally i also had the same situation. They told me that $299 promo was for new activations. I actually believed it until I go online when i get home, go on mobilicity.ca, decide to see if i can buy it online. Turns out that i could indeed buy it online.
Next day i call up mobi, ask them if what aberdeen said was true. They said yes it was.
I end up going to lansdowne mobilicity, they also called the CSR which told them that it didnt matter, it was a promo for all customers. Bought the phone from them, went back to aberdeen to question them, they ask me politely to leave.

I called up mobi to file a complaint with my brand new phone

So at the end of the day it really depends on which location you go to, ive had good luck with lansdowne and the one on broadway.

$25bts has data,

you need to add the $5 BIS add on for bb data to work

umm cant really get it for free...unless you jump on to their..

*9900 purchase and activate on any $35+ plan and get 3 months of BIS internet for free.

Read on RFD that the BTS plan is being extended for another month to match Wind. So if anyone's still looking for an HTC Panache, try this place:

MVP Electronics
807 Carnarvon Street
New Westminster
778-397-7100
604-725-6580

It's not a Mobilicity store but an authorized dealer; it's a Korean computer store of some sort. But they had the lowest price in town as far as I'm concerned. $239.99 for the Panache. It was very convenient to get there, like a one minute walk from the New Westminster skytrain station.

Here's a link to their craigslist ad:

how long does it take mobi to give me the $20 credit for settting up auto payment? i just did it about an hour ago and still nothing. Got the PAC20 promo code to work though.

also, does auto payment pay out the outstanding balance our automatically takes out $28 a month? i want to use the money in the Wallet.

should be pretty much immediately after you get off the phone with the CSR and it's $10 in your MyWallet and another $10 in MyWallet the following month

auto payment should pay the outstanding amount owing, so if you keep that $10 in MyWallet you'd still have to pay $28. For myself i transferred it towards my balance so my next autopayment would be $18

I'm not sure about your second question, but for the $20 credit they give you the first $10 off the 2nd month, and the second $10 off your 3rd month.

That's great for you but why do you think they gave you that?

Hope they don't try to buy out Mobi like they did Fido.

Thanks to all the posters with their help and info here.

I told her about the mobilicity plan and told her that basically I need something cheaper because I'm a student, yadda yadda yadda, she hooked me up and i didn't even have to renew my contract. My old contract was something like$75/$80 a month with only 2500 text, 500mb data, unlimited rogers to rogers/fido/rogers homephone across Canada. A lot happier with paying $58 after taxes

Not to threadjack, but if anyone wants to get a better deal on their plan, they're handing credits out like candy because of the mobilicity plan. I have a $20 credit per month on my account now lol.

[Simplex123]

^ I tried so hard to get credits.. and I got nothing.. I've been with them for 7 years too lol

[Psykopathik]

BTS plans promo extended due to popular demand!

Edit Shit. Stereo 12 beat me

[ShadowBun]

what.the.fk

[nabs]

the PAC20 code does not work anymore

[Alatar]

I decided to get this to try it out, and see if I decide to let my Rogers account go after the better part of a decade.

I've noticed a few dead spots OUTSIDE in Vancouver, though. One being at 41st & Main, just at the top of the hill going east. 1bar/0bar reception. Hope that's remedied soon.

[kcl38]

Hows the reception out at UBC? Depending on how the iPhone announcement on Tuesday looks I'd be super down to switching to Mobi 9900 with the $25 BTS plan (Its +$5 for BIS, right?)
