Re: new
I know you posted in Rogers section, but if you have Telus in your area, they have just the plan you are looking for. Look in the Telus section.

For cell service in Canada GSM is a must.

Telus and Rogers both have very comparable reception. Overall I find Rogers to be better but it if not a big diff.
I feel GSM is WAY better than CDMA simply because of the technological advantages it offers.Visit my website for lots of great Free BlackBerry Themes:

Re: WANTED: Good plan with a phone for under $75
not to beat this to death, but is the technology advancement worth the extra money for a lesser plan?
($60 ($5 x 12 months)first year and $168 ($7 x 24 months) second and third year) = $228
Not to mention $15 per month for the additional minutes. 200 offered by Telus - 150 offered by Rogers. (calculated as 50 minutes @$0.30 per minute.) =$360.
$228
$360
____
$588

Rogers does not charge you to switch phones (something I do at least once a day), Telus charges $10 each time (so that would cost me at least $3,650 per year).
Rogers does not charge you to change plans, Telus does (I can't remember how much)
Rogers cancellation fee is min:$20, max:$200, Telus' is min:$100, max:$720.
Telus locks out their phones so you Must pay them for ringtones or games, Rogers does not (or when they do it is easy to bypass them).
etc, etc, etc...
Every single quarter when all the carriers release their financials Telus customers pay more on average than any other carrier. Always.
Again, it is about a lot more thban just the plan cost.Visit my website for lots of great Free BlackBerry Themes:

Re: WANTED: Good plan with a phone for under $75
why would someone change phones daily or even monthly?
what about an mp3 phone such as the nokia 2125 (i think that's the telus phone) or the samsung A950. Do youhave to pay for the songs and ringtones there?
