This thread will go exactly like this

I'm on Telus. They're great. Don't use Rogers, they're awful.

No, I'm on Rogers, they're great. Don't use telus, they're awful.

I'm on Telus. They suck. Don't use Rogers, they're worse.

i got an andriod HTC panache from Mobilicity for $50.00

unlimited:
- north america calling
- global texting
- data

$40.00 per month, no contract

its great, i can use the phone as its own hotspot and with free data i connect my blackberry and ipad to it.

downside, it only works in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver (parts), Toronto and Ottawa.

but for $40.00 per month, its a great deal!

The big three all suck equally but in my experience Bell sucks the least.

The big three all suck, better coverage in terms of area, that's the only advantage they have over a smaller company like Wind. Wind doesn't have the area but is just as reliable in their own service area as the other three. Look at the Rogers thread from yesterday about lack of service.

40 bucks for everything? Perfect.

I'm on Rogers. They are terrible. Only reason I am still with them is a killer retentions plan....

Of course I am speaking to my area and coverage...but I barely get 1 bar at home and Telus/Koodo gets 5

SaskTel is awesome, 60 bucks a month gets you unlimited data, unlimited texts and free cell to cell calling with Sasktel customers. The problem is, you have to live in Saskatchewan, so that sort of cancels it out.
