500 posts. What a shame.

I think in Canada, only Toronto has the critical mass to support this kind of technological infrastructure. (Cue the non-Torontonian flaming). Also, we don't really care... and all this government subsidized monopoly bullshit isnt helping either. It'd be nice to have those features though.. without having to cost an arm and a leg. I went to HK this winter... SIM card with 350 minutes.. 35 HKD.. thats like.. 5-6 bucks here... w/ caller ID..

Telus just started selling porn for cell phones a little while ago, when it's been done for years everywhere else in NA.

Got a feeling that Jem will now go buy a Telus phone.


we discontinued it as of today

Don't know yet what I'm going to..

If they were smart, they would all have great promotions on then..

I'm going to call them all up and see who will give me the best plans and phones etc...

I'm looking in Rogers direction just because I can probably get a better deal cause we already have so much business w/ them...but we'll see!

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks..

anyway you guys can pay my penalty for breaking my contract w/ Bell? haha

I think its only $200 or somethign like that


btw..i'm no techy when it comes to cellphones...so what network does Telus use? I'll probably just buy a phone in the States or something, but don't know which ones would be compatible...
