Posted via RS Mobile

Edit: Do you guys think that dealers will be able to extend the $100 port in?

Somebody want to confirm FnF at the corporate location in vancouver?

Its on Cambie and West Broadway.

I think it is 530 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E9.

its there. but apparently you need to give the name of someone who works with mobilicity to get it. thats what they said.
only place we can get it is at the West Broadway location.

and the 100 port in... doesnt apply to FnF plan, at least thats what I've been hearing

So anyone on Mobi that can verify how the reception is? I work/live in Surrey and go to Richmond/Van often. I am thinking about trying this out for a month. I have a spare BB9000 lying around, can I just use this phone if it's unlocked?

Are there any initiation fees/starter fees that new customers should be aware of?

I live in Richmond and go to school in Surrey Central and was on Mobilicity before. reception was fairly good in both didn't receive any dropped calls at all. You won't be able to use your9000 unless it was from t-mobile. it won't work if it's from Rogers

You gotta add $5 to BTS for BB data on BB phones.

Even if it's unlocked......? Do you have to add 5$ to all the plans if using BB?

No you cannot use a Rogers 9000 on Mobilicity AT ALL. Mobilicity runs different bands than Rogers and is 3G only.

Its not about unlocking. Its about the BAND/FREQUENCY the phone is set up for.

I'm not sure there exists a penta band BB that allows all providers to use it.

If you don't add BIS, i'm guessing everything still works except for BBM?

everything still works on a non blackberry yes, but if you choose a blackberry as your device, you must have BIS to have internet/bbm/data working.

Sucks. I get no reception when I'm at home, or whenever I'm in a building. I live in Surrey by the way. Calls seem to lag. It's like having a conversation with someone with a 2 second delay. Whenever I turn my phone off, and back on, it takes like 10 minutes for my phone to connect back to the mobi net work.

That's odd, perhaps things are different in Surrey.

I've really no issues with mobilicity. I'm always in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond and have not had any issues there. Whether it be in buildings or out in the opening. The only thing is I will drop bars when I go down into a basement/underground.

Subsequently, when I visited north van the other day, there was full bar reception there.

I can see you having issues if you're in south surrey/on the fringe of the coverage area but that should have been made clear to you when you looked at the coverage map.
