You'd certainly be the one to attest to coverage up north, Adrian. For $78 after taxes I get 200 daytime, unltd evenings/weekends, 2500 sent texts international, unlimited receive international, voicemail, caller ID, 6 gb data, no monthly service fee. It's actually a pretty good plan, if you use all of that. I use greater than or equal to 75% of my daytime minutes, < 1 gb data, and < 500 texts. I also want to cancel my voicemail and caller ID as youmail has a free service to handle this stuff.
There's gotta be something out there with at least 2gb of data and the other features I want... it would be a dream to be able to pay only $40/mo for all of that... maybe I'll try calling and threaten to cancel.
