OK Good stuff...more companies like that, more competition, better deals for us - the customers (usually :p)
So far looks pretty decent, but I'm not all ga-ga over it or anything. Looks like they're using their own "system and network", no GSMs here.

Expensive, however looks to be the cheapest of all pre-paid:
20˘ per minute for your first 5 minutes
10˘ per minute for the rest of the day! |

| Pretty much everyone who does telecom services is renting their lines or what not from Bell...I used to work for Bell back in the day and I recall being surprised about it. Even other Telecom companies actually are renting Bell's lines (not all of course) and then re-rell them to consumers (or rent rather/provide service) |

Bell has to. The CRTC mandates that Bell lease lines to CLECs. CRTC even sets the price. |

| I wonder if the city gave him a permit to do that. If they did then it proves that money will buy just about any privlige because i can't see anyone else being allowed to do that. |
