Anyone familiar with the company?

Similar to Google Project Fi

https://www.sugarmobile.ca/

$19/month for unlimited talk and text through Wifi if you use what I presume is an app that you download. If you don't have Wifi you have 200MB of data, 600 min, and 20,000 text messages per month. Costs $19 to top up every month. If you don't use up your total 200MB, your data is carried over into the next month, and it never expires.

Works with any unlocked Android or iPhone.

Mobile Syrup reviewed them.

Seems like a good idea for someone who knows what they are doing.

If it's just through Wifi, you can get Fongo for free. It works decently enough, though they charge for SMS. But for that you can get Pinger(aka Text for Free) and send texts. They charge for voice calls, though incoming is free but the quality isn't as good as Fongo. So i use both, the only issue is you have to give people 2 numbers, but I don't really give anyone my Fongo # as that kinda defeats the purpose of staying of the grid . Good for making calls when you really need to though.

EDIT: and now I read the article... So they run through the cell network if you are not on WiFIi. The price looks OK, though a 100mb/$9.99 price would be sweet. I might even consider a sim card then...

Yeah, just thinking for those people that are on WiFi 95% of the time and need a fallback for those times that they aren't. If you use the service enough without getting to 200MB I'd imagine you can easily make it worth your while.

Just a warning for those considering this, it sounds like the 200mb you get off wifi includes 600 mins talking, texts, etc.

Just read this: https://www.sugarmobile.ca/#anchor-non-wifi

You don't get 200MB data and 600 mins talking and 20000 texts. From that link, it is stated as you get 200MB data to make calls/texts/etc. For example, if you spend 600 mins talking on their non-wifi network, you will have used up your 200MB, and won't be able to make any more non-wifi calls/texts/data unless you add another $19 to your account.

Basically it is a 200MB data plan for $19 based on what I am comprehending on their website.

If you are considering it, I would call to confirm.

If I spent 600 minutes a month talking on a cell phone I think I'd have to shoot myself in the head.
