Re: [biz] Being ripped

It's a comment on the industry that I have 20 years experience in telecom (7 years in billing) that  I  can't figure out which plan gives me the best deal. Most don't tell you if the minutes are "rounded up" or charged on a per second basis. The small print is misleading a best and down-right fraud at it's worst. However,  7-11  does seem  to be the best  pay as you go plan (or was it Virgin ?) It seems as though there is really only two mobile  phone companies  Bell and Rogers all the others are just piggy backing on their networks. This leads to Telus, Bell Mobility, Rogers, Virgin etc etc... having the same plans but different names. Thanks to everyone for the input...I am now going to fix myself a large gin and tonic!

They have decided to raise the cost of an incoming and outgoing call from 33 cents/min to 40 cents/min this is a 21% increase. Time I stopped PAYing and started GOing ? So here is the challenge..... Who is the most economic cell provider in Canada (Ontario) Does anyone offer free unlimited local incoming minutes ? I hope you can help......I feeling like I have been ripped-off I did a fair amount of research on 'pay-as-you-go' providers and eventually went with PC Mobile - 20c/min flat rate. They're basically rebadged Bell phones and in fact you can send e-mail to them with [[EMAIL PROTECTED], great for your Asterisk voice mail notifications :-) - Julian -- -- Julian C.
