thats like saying "hey i lost my tv/its broken" so now its means i dont have to pay for cable tv?? of course they still bill you , you still have "ACTIVE" service, its just the hardware is not available.

It would be done with any provider.

i've been with telus for almost 4 years (only b/c 2 of those years i was living in alberta, home of telus)


so you're saying that you can hook up your friends with a l33t phone such as the KRZR??? HOOK A BROTHA UP!

Let me just say that I've really had no issues with Bell in terms of type of plan I had etc, I'm just super annoyed (to no end) at their shitty cell phone selection and I want to be able to just interchange my info on different phones if I get a new one, all the previous phones on bell you couldn't do that.

PM your #

have been with rogers for the past 6yrs...
i don't like switching numbers all the time haha

remember guys (and girls), all the telcos are prepping up for wireless portability right now... it's supposed to go in place for next month

so you will soon be able to tell your provider to kiss your ass *and* take your cell number over to another provider

Rogers owns Fido, so wow, 67%

they asked me if i wanted another phone and i said no. then i said i would like to cancel the service because i couldn't afford another phone so i don't need the service. it took two months for them to understand that.

i do understand if i haven't tried canceling the service.

Originally posted by monishb no your incorrect, telus has not launched any of their phones which are hybrids for MIKE and GSM, but yes you can buy one of ebay which is unlocked and can be used on the iDEN network with MIKE

there are at least 2 models out right now that can be used on GSM as well if unlocked that are available direct from the telus store. u cant expect them to make it readily available to be used on all networks..

do u use a MIKE fone?

BOYCOTT THOSE FREAKIN' ASS-RAPING CELL PHONE COMPANIES AND USE SKYPE (they have cell phones too but Toronto needs to increase their free wi-fi capabilities)!!!! Pardon my chose of words but every time I get the bill I feel like throwing my cell over the balcony!

If anybody has a Bell cell phone they want to sell for $50 - let me know.

1 of 5

I dont have one of those new fangled cell phone things

ROGERSSSSSS..i guess i have a pretty good plan and the phone works well but they suck when it comes to billing and other small things


for the past 3 months they keep billing me between 40-60$ more then they should be, and when i call to ask why.. they say oops we made a mistake after keeping me on hold for 30 min to figure out the problem LOLOL

talk about trying to fool your customers into making money from them hoping they wont notice the extra 50$ your charging them? lol

sprint.

yay! more annoying news.. some brutal realities. forget even comparing Canada to the rest of the world, we're paying more than the U.S..

Sky-high fees curb Canada's cellphone use: study Last Updated: Monday, March 5, 2007 | 11:55 AM ET CBC News Canadian cellphone users are paying more than people in any other developed country in the world, says a report that warns the high wireless service costs have stalled the widespread use of mobile devices in this country. The average cellphone bill in Canada is one-third more than it is in the United States and the highest of 30 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to the report released Monday from the Seaboard Group, a Canadian technology research and consulting group. While relative costs have dropped since a 2005 study � which found Canadians paid 60 per cent more than Americans � the group argues the high prices are still an impediment to increased adoption of mobile technology. "Canada is dead last in the 30-country OECD measurement of wireless penetration. Oddly enough, Canada's wireless prices lead the world � there may well be a correlation," the report said. Canada has 56 cellphone users for every 100 Canadians, a level of adoption that lags behind every developed country, the study found. The United States has 75 users for every 100 Americans, while Britain and Germany have 102.2 and 86.4 users per 100 people respectively. Kill long-distance fees, report urges The study broke down cellphone users into three groups: heavy, average and light users. Heavy users were getting the worst deal, the report said, with costs of 50 per cent more than U.S. users were paying. Light users � people who only used their phone in emergencies, for example � actually paid 27 per cent less per month than Americans. The authors of the report recommended Canadian wireless carriers kill long-distance fees, reward customers for signing up friends and expand usage ceilings as ways of attracting new customers. They also suggested the government should allow and encourage outside competition in the industry. Toronto-based Rogers Wireless is Canada's largest wireless carrier, ahead of Vancouver's Telus Corp. and Montreal-based BCE's Bell Mobility. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association said on Monday the number of wireless phone subscribers at the end of 2006 was 18.5 million, with wireless penetration in major urban centres at over 70 per cent.

Hahaha. That's just awesome. We're paying more than Europeans for coverage that is significantly less than European.
