^ I've heard the same. Mobilicity is month-to-month, correct? If so, why don't you try it for a month while you still have your Rogers plan. If you like it, cancel Rogers. If you don't, cancel Mobilicity.

Is it worth the switch? | why don't you look into wind then? better coverage, stronger reception

^^ Is Wind's reception and internet speed really that much better? Can anyone using Wind right now confirm this?
Im really tempted to switch to another carrier. My Rogers plan is ridiculous and my iphone4 is pretty slow online. Especially when i compare up to my friends iphone4s on LTE using SpeedTest. Both on Rogers network!
$40 talk/txt/data Wind plan PLUS $8 Voicemail PLUS $10 for whatever Permium Data is.
That'll run me close to $70/month.
vs....My current $80/month with Rogers.
Just dont know if its worth switching to save $10 and risk dropped calls, and perhaps even SLOWER internet.
Unless im wrong with Wind.

Unless im wrong with Wind. | i'm on wind. feel free to check the wind thread for stuff that may answer your questions.
i've never used mobilicity, was tempted at one point, but waited it out and jumped onboard with wind. never happier (switched from fido)
i'll ask you this though, are you the type that's okay with slower speeds? because technically speaking, rogers is faster, and has wider coverage, but thats why you pay the premium.
personally, when i was on fido, and i signed up with wind, there was a 1 month period where i was using both. and every time, my wind data speeds were faster than fido. fido being a branch of rogers, i can only imagine the speeds being similar.
reception, i have no problems with it. you may hit a weak/dead spot, but they're few. you'll have troubles in some obvious situations (elevators, hugee buildings, underground parkades) but not always.
the plan you're looking into.. if you're looking for a $40 plan, and don't quote me on this, but i think call id may be included? mine is, but i got mine during a special promotion. as for the premium data, trust me, you wont need it. unless you use well over 5-10gb of data a month, it's pointless. If i recall correctly, "premium data" is only increasing your monthly limit before the slow your data speeds down.
normally it's around 5gb a month, before they slow down your speeds. premium data add-on increases that limit to 10gb.
data speeds range anywhere from 1.5mbps - 4.5 mbps (i've reached 5mbps a few times before)

I almost ported out from Mobi yesterday but they didn't have any white S3's in stock at that location and i don't have time to drive all over the city.
after losing my $2/month, the whole thing doesn't seem worth it to me any more. I have been rooting for Mobi, but I think the time has come for me to move on.
anyone wanna buy an white unlocked Pentaband Note? |

I just switched from Mobo -> Wind couple weeks ago
Overall I am happy.

Got to say WIND has more coverage, voice quality is good and that speed is faster

“Samsung continues to innovate the GALAXY Note product family with the Samsung GALAXY Note II, which enables users to create content and share like never before,” said Paul Brannen, Vice President, Enterprise Business Solutions at Samsung Canada. “We are thrilled to work with our carrier partners to deliver a device that allows Canadians to maximize their productivity in the workplace and on-the-go.”

Just wondering, I have 3g on top of my signal bars, but sometimes H shows up.
I read online on some forums saying that when you have really good signal H shows up or when you are downloading something.
I have been getting dropped calls though but its not often.

I am very tempted to get this deal. I will be moving to Toronto as well in October and I don't want to miss this deal since it ends in 3 days. Can I sign up now and move to Toronto? Will that be roaming or will they let you move to a different homebase and it won't be considered as roaming? What did you have to do? Go to Moblicity in Toronto and let them know? Thanks in advance.

oh one last piece of good news for you Mobi guys: | I wonder if the Samsung GALAXY Note II supported radio frequencies is built the same way as its AT&T counterpart or the Galaxy Nexus phones.... You think it'll be compatible with Bell/Rogers/Telus?
Cause if so, I wouldn't mind buying straight up from mobilicity since they usually have pretty good deals on phones.
