yeah, the BB Value pack has 500MB on it.

I actually called to cancel it 3 weeks ago cause I don't really need it anymore and they just gave me a $5.00 discount for that package...which is decent as I was debating whether or not to cancel it.

Texts are the perfect product, what do you expect? in high demand, virtually zero cost, unlimited supply and customers with relatively elastic demand. Brilliant.

That it? Only $5.00 credit to keep it on?

i'm getting $10.00 discount from the day it started, and for the next 5 years it's applied on my account. I was so mad when that info was misleading everyone, CSR, REPS, Customers and etc

Originally posted by exstasie I wouldn't call the merchants in the wireless industry jerks. They are just taking advantage of the competitive-less mobile market that we have in Canada. If any of those 'European' phone companies operated in Canada, they would operate with the same standards and ideology as Rogers/Bell/Telus does. Make a profit. People are willing to pay an arm & a leg for wireless service since there isn't much choice, so why not charge them an arm and a leg.

Cyprus used to have 1 wireless provider lol
and prices were still WAY more affordable
even when they got Virgin and a few others, plans are still way better then here
call display + voicemail + call forwarding - all is free and you never pay extra
way better reception then any of these "best networks" here

even my economically/socially/politically backward homecountry of Ukraine has pretty diverse and way more affordable network of wireless providers - noone locks you up in contracts, you can have a plan that actually credits back money to your account depending on how much you spend per month.. noone heard of such nonsense as "locked phones" there

i agree that the cell phone companies in canada are retarded. But the reality is that if they can get away with it, and people pay it, then they will charge it.

And if they are making pure profit then i congratulate them! After all thats why they are there!

The real issue is why there arent more companies in Canada. Competition improves a product and lowers its price.

Im glad the conservatives overturned the commie CRTC and allowed Wind. Its obvious we need more competition and its obvious that canada is not capable of providing it without foreign intervention.

lets see what happens!

never seen this kinda public enthusiasm over a company launch before. just goes to show how messed up this industry was. it's like a velvet revolution lol
