Actually there are more than 2. There are 3. Telus has a lot of their own
towers and footprint in on Ontario (not to mention a near monopoly out west).
Bell and Telus do have a tower sharing agreement however. So in many cases it
seems like they are 1, but they are actually seperate.

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!

I haven't used them, but 7-Eleven Mobile is also 20c per minute local, but
the airtime lasts for a year and it's GSM, so you can change phones on the

Hi all, I just got a letter from Rogers "Paygo" my cell provider.
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 :-)
