got it done today, got the nexus S


pros:
- dealt with my contract with rogers, no fee, no hassle
- will take any old phone as long as it turns on
- so far data speed is better than i expected, on par with rogers
- $200 credit as advertised, pay $6/mth as calculated
- got a free screen protector

cons:
- my bb curve ended up not being compatible with their network so had to buy new phone
- the $200 distributed is over 10mths


thanks for all your help guys, now gotta learn how to root/play with android!

Tried to sign up for a Roger's pay as you go so that I could port over but then I get this message:


Your order has been submitted; however we are unable to activate your phone at this time. You will receive a confirmation e-mail once your phone is activated. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For help, please call 1 888 542-7437 to contact our activations centre.
Thank you for choosing Rogers Wireless.

FML. I called the number and they're currently closed. They better be open tomorrow so that I can take advantage of the port in creds and codes.

Also...

TURBO E

You still selling your Nexus S? Or are you ignoring me?!

^ get the Telus Galaxy S2 X. Mine has better reception than the Nexus S

Any t-mobile phone will work too. you're paying full price, no subsidies, so why limit yourself to only what mobilicity is offering.

I dont know about you but with Fido I had no data and had to pay for txt. So since I switched in Aug so far I have saved over $100 for switching earlier. Still happy.

Had a good experience with them! Customer service was fine when I needed help.
The coverage and reception were great around Richmond/Van/Surrey for my needs, with the exception of spotty reception up at SFU.
Also liked that Wind users got a free skimmed down version of facebook, so that was a bonus.

In the off chance that someone was following my earlier post, I managed to open my pay as you go plan on Rogers and it worked. I ended up calling their pay as you go activation line to get everything working instead of doing it online.

This is what happened...

Get a Rogers Sim Card (Unused/brand new) - $5
Open up a Pay as you go plan (by the minute plan) - $10+tax (was the min you can add)
Get a number that I liked from Rogers - 10 mins
Go to mobilicity store (1st and commercial) and port number - 10 mins

Steal a number from Rogers then get 200 credit from mobi? - Priceless (actually its +$175)



Reminder that tomorrow is the last day for the port-in/trade-in credits!

Yup, do it before it ends, honestly the best deal ever, cause its guranteed for life.

350 a year for unlimited plan is cheapppp, phone will be 200+ but thats still good, considering unlimited plans for other companies are like, $50 a month

Weird, I can't receive incoming calls, but text, data, and outgoing calls still work :S Anyone else have this problem? Think it might be the sim. Swapped with my brothers and found out it was not my phone

If you JUST ported over, it takes about 3hrs for everything to get established.

During this 3hr process, you cannot receive calls and/or texts but can do data, send text and perform outgoing calls.

If it was done Sunday, this shouldn't be the case.

Go to a mobi store or call mobi and find out whats up?

Seeing as you can call them, why not?
