Always ask them for the best price and they will give you their "one day special deal" or else they will give you the regular price.
does that pre-paid method on the phone still apply? 10$ for 2 months? i went to the store and asked but they said they didn't know. | the stores have no clue. like i said the first time, CALL IN.

Mobilicity works unbelievably well in Toronto. I get awesome reception and good data speeds everywhere except underground in Eaton Centre and in the subway.
Hopefully Vancouver improves their network to Toronto's standard in the next year or two.

Another example is Alexandra Rd in Richmond used to have 1 bar to no reception, getting 3-4 bars now.
One of the most important dead zones is in the canada line, if you can wait out that 10 ish minutes from marine dr. to waterfront like me then its actually pretty good for the price.

Also is it android 2.2?

when I asked if I had to be a student they laughed at me and said "It's the back to school plan, but it doesn't say that you are going back to school. But somebody is"

Now it's full bar all the time.

Posted via RS Mobile | same. however i found i was able to stretch the battery life a lot by turning off background updates (which is required to access the marketplace). and dim the LCD back light.

Really like the HTC so far, notification LED is always great, good call quality, might actually have improved reception over my old phone.
Only complaint is battery life, maybe the buttons feel a little bit cheap, but yea great phone.

^ Thanks.
I got the Panache too and what I find weird is this.
1. If I'm not touching the phone .. it says it has 3 bars or whatever but as soon as I unlock it, it goes down to 1 bar or even nothing..thus making data super duper slow lol.
2. Then today at work, I was in my room and it had 3 bars.. walked around inside to get some coffee and it went to 0 and then said "limited access" the whole time i was waiting.
3. Upstairs at my house..i get 3 bars then it goes to nothing when I go downstairs. (I can still use the phone but data is pretty darn slow)
I wonder if it's the phone itself having issues or the network itself?
Any thoughts? do you have these issues or ran into it?
So far, I'm enjoying everything and will keep the plan but those 3 things are the ones I can think of right now that puzzles me.

^^^ some times i get that on my spice but not as common as your issue. the refresh rate seems pretty slow. also on the spice i was able to reduce batt consumption by setting it to turn off data when the phone is not in use after 15mins, so i should be able to get through a day with average usage. also ive noticed that the phone drains a shit load of batt trying to regain signal if your in a dead zone. my phone used like 40% batt life after about 3 hours in a dead zone, and i didn't even touch the phone.

if you are in a dead zone, the phone will constantly try to get a signal. that kills battery power. if you are in a known dead spot, switch to airplane mode.
