I can't see how anyone that just does daily use/activities go anywhere near 5 GBs.

They're arguing about completely non-relavent things but instead of how to pronounce pho, they're going on about freedom of speech.

^unfortuneately yes I did. I last checked the thread the day the $200 port in cred was announced. Been working so much lately haven't even gotten the time to even check Facebook. I was gonna port in this weekend because that's my only day off. W/e I guess $25 unlimited everything is still a good deal.

On another note, Mobi had a data service disruption due to changes they are making to stop data abusers. This has since been reversed till they figure out wtf happened.

Mobi dying? N#gger, please...
Thanks for the info guys.

This thread by Turbo E is great and all the info and feedback from everyone most helpful. Keep it up!

For the negative Nancys, hope you are happy getting robbed by the other telcoms. I for one have had it with them and changed to Mobi while minimizing my old plan till the contract ends. Remember its companies like Mobi and Wind that's forcing change in the industry so I support them.

It's been discussed already....

And it is only temporary and not for life like the BTS.

I've done the same, of sorts. Cancelled my Rogers account (Ported to Koodo) and have a phone/# on the BTS $25 (read: $23) plan.

Mobilicity isn't quite good enough for my needs yet (too many dead spots/lack of coverage areas) and I really don't want to roam in local areas either. That being said, I fully support them and will hang onto the plan/be a subscriber to their service to help them out.

the only reason I think anyone stays with the big 3 is call quality and coverage. is it really worth paying 2-3 times more than Mobi users do?

IMO, get onto Mobi and carry a 7-11 Speakout sim card in your wallet. No signal? switch sims.

I never go out of the coverage zones so I'm good. business cell users, look elsewhere.

Me: $25/mo = $300/year TAX IN.

Rogers: $30/month for DATA only. add in unlimited calling, caller ID, text = $50 minimum. + $911/system access fee $8/mo almost $90+tax= $100 X 12 months = $1200 per year!

You just threw away $800. if you got roped into a subsidized phone and contract for 3 years = $2400 down the drain. want to leave? cough up $200 more + 1 month service cost.

how often have you been on a call that dropped and couldn't be resumed by simply calling the person back? is it worth $800/year to you?

hell throw in $100 7-11 airtime for roaming if needed, I'm still only paying $400 for the year. shit i could even throw a spare phone in the car for emergecies. don't even have to swap sims. 7-11 minutes last a full year. keep it topped up (before they expire) and you can roll them over.

the only thing you stand to lose by going with Mobi is: initial cost of an AWS phone, your old # maybe, some time.

Hate them? go back to the big 3. no penalty...except your immortal soul.
