kurtzfan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Did anyone switch over to a different wireless the last few days? I was at Metrotown last night. A huge line up at Fido. The deal was expired yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Might want to fix the title... *wireless*. I did not, none of the deals around were all that great and Fido was being a dick about who could get their deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trek Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yes I switched my 6GB plan from 2008 to the new $40 one. Saving $35/month is awesome. But I called in from Toronto so the people in Vancouver were all still sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Was with Wind earlier this year. Signal a bit slow and weak in certain places.... but more or less unlimited data for like $35 + tax. Switched over to Rogers as I get the corporate rate... 3GB for $45 bucks.... felt limited as I just stream the radio a little bit going to and from work and it seems to nearly max me out. I wanted to switch to the new 4GB for $40 offered by Public Mobile, Fido and Virgin... Fido had major lineup and I was too late. Public Mobile for $38 ended a the day before I found out.... so I went with Virgin. It's Bell, so speed and coverage are the same as any other, except minimal connection on the Skytrain in downtown. Switch over my number and my wife's.... saved $10 off the bat, plus an extra 10% off as there's some multiple plan/per account discount. $72/month (pre-tax) for two lines at 4GB each, along with all the VM, caller ID, etc.... pretty good IMO. The Virgin member discounts aren't too shabby either... breakfast sandwich and a coffee at Starbucks for like 5 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coverage in greater Vancouver? Freedom was terrible. I live in coal harbour and my reception would be spotty. I use an S7. Anytime i would go to Richmond or North Vancouver, it would get worse. They're cheap, for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was letting myself get lulled by their cheap 'early black Friday' offer on the Google Pixel2 for 'free' with 5gb data and unlimited calling/text for $68/month (2 lines). For now I'm going to look in to rooting my older S4 to get some speed/battery life back and see what the bigger guys come up with next week for black Friday. If nothing strikes my fancy, I might just buy an unlocked LG V20 and stay on my current Virgin plan if my rooted S4 doesn't keep me satisfied. Looks like I can get Nougat 7.0 in the S4.

Shift-4 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I just switched to Freedom. So far so good. 10G data plan. Had a lady ask me what I would do with all that data. I said "Not go over!" Telus can kiss my ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I have T-Mobile, and I really like them. I have an unlimited plan with them which includes unlimited calling/data/text in the US, Canada, and Mexico. I can be in Canada and make a call to the US, Canada, or Mexico, and not be charged for it, same with text and data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtzfan Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Last year, there s the $40 4GB deal. This year, there s the $60 10GB deal. . . getting more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I had the $40/4GB Plan last year, changed to the $60/10GB plan. How is it more expensive? $10/GB last year and only province-wide calling, $6/GB this year with nationwide calling. The craziness has been epic this year for this deal as I've never seen the chat/phone queue/best buy mobile flooded with so many people it's insane.

Lancaster Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I currently have the 4GB deal from last year, but I really want the 10GB deal because it's technically a good offer.... just not sure how to really justify paying an additional 50% on my cell bill for data I most likely won't really use (unless I go out of my way to use it all like streaming video to/from work, etc).
