what cell company do you use?

So I want to buy a new phone and contract and really wondering what company people use and think about their services.


I�m looking at Telus bc there offers are exactly what I�m looking for... but now I�m wondering how about connection, and signal

Which do you guys find to be a better deal.

I'm with Telus, i've never ever ever had a problem with their connection and signal. I've made calls from inside T.O -- outside T.O, on top of blue mountain, only when i'm in a town called "Tiny" is there an analog signal.

Never had a problem with their customer service either.

Bad side, per minute billing, phones are less to be desired.

I have had Telus for 4 years now, and I have never had an issue

Bottom line is this:

It doesn't matter what everybody else uses. It matters how, when you are going to use your phone and what you requirements are.

Bell told me $35 flat rate, plus the taxes. No service fees or hidden charges. Why is my bill $57 every month?

Service fees and hidden charges.

Fuck you, Bell Mobility.

lol...I have a $20 plan with Rogers + $5 for call display or voice mail or something...and yet every month I pay about $50...WHAT THE FUCK!?!? I'm taking it up the bum for sure!

<-- July $148.90 (low month)

Happy with the service I get.

Work pays my bill and my wife's is tax deductable.... so I couldn't give a shit what they charge me.

BTW, the only charges I've ever been hit for outside of my purchased services are long distance charges.... which I get quite a bit of (one of the downfalls of living in a different calling zone then the one you work in).

Mine is always up there as well.... Damn this 24/7 world!... DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!

Reason for the three-digit mobile bill...

I 900 #s.

I'm with rogers now. I took my moms phone and she had the best number on the planet. She never used to recieve too many calls to begin with, so the switch was relatively easy.

But now my brother got a job for Bell Mobility, and they offer family plans to employees at sweet discounts. But I don't wanna give up the # I got with rogers.

Hold off a little. They're working on a bill that will allow you to take your number with you between providers. Actually, that may have been past with the recent CRTC regulation changes.... I'm not sure. Look into it!

Number portability comes in early 2006!

I'm with Bell. Not the greatest, but my contract is almost up, so I'll have to see what they offer nowadays.


Posted by loca on Aug-04-2005 16:16:

I have Bell. Loving it too, i got a pretty sweet deal with them ,and a really nice phone @ $35/mth, include taxes and it's around $38-39.

And with that i get unlimited weekends, 200 weekday minutes, unlimited nights, and 20 free weekday phone calls to my "preferred" number (which is to a rogers cell phone hahhaa). Also free bell to bell calling and free long distance calls within Ontario for the first 3 months.

i personally just baught a new phone from Telus, switching over from Fido.

99 Dollar for a new colour phone, signal EVERYWHERE. Inside,outside, underground. 37.45 every month, taxes included. It's just damn good.


Posted by tha_broad on Aug-04-2005 16:37:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is there an amount of time that you have to be with fido to qualify for that? I just got my fido phone, but already lost the battery backing at a&b @ guv, So Im looking around to getting a new handset.

(even tho I got this one free from a friend. I have to get a hold of him and see if he has any more to replace this one)


Posted by starsearcher on Aug-04-2005 16:51:

Telus is not GSM so not very good/compatible with the rest of the world/traveling


Posted by RobbyG. on Aug-04-2005 16:59:

I was with Bell til their billing restructuring fiasco...I switched to TELUS and I am VERY happy with them...My monthly bill is WAY cheaper then Bell's and the Telus customer service is awesome
