Choosing Provider

2013-12-26 Thread Chris Smart

Hi folks.
I'm in southern Ontario Canada and about to get my first iPhone. The 
16GB 5S is on sale with two-year contract for $49 at Future Shop/Best 
Buy. However, I have to decide between Bell, Rogers, and Telus. (Not 
sure if Telus is available in Ontario).


Anyway, for those of you in Ontario, who do you think I should go 
with? Bell or Rogers?


thanks
Chris

I am in Alberta and we have both carriers. The one you select will depend 
somewhat on what you use the phone for, who is your provider for other tv or 
Internet services, etc. You can bundle your services and save money. Also check 
the Christmas offerings that are available on both of their websites to see 
what your best deal is is. 

I hope this helps.

Re: Choosing Provider

2013-12-26 Thread Aman Singer
Hi.
If you're in an area with Wind coverage, I would get their service.
You have to buy the phone outright, but you can buy either the 5C or
5S and your bill for unlimited everything except international
long-distance will be under $40. If you get it from Bell, Rogers, or
Telus, which is available in Ontario, BTW, you will pay a good deal
more for a more limited service in everything but coverage area. If
you don't want to use Wind, or can't, you may want to look at the
providers which are sub-brands, as it were. These are Koodo, Virgin,
and Fido (Also, perhaps, chattr). You may well be able, again by
buying the phone outright, to get a decent plan.
I hope that's of use.

Actually, I am with koodo.  I find it the best as I have unlimitted anytime 
minutes in Canada nd for 2 extra dollars 5 cents per minute to the states. 
My son who has used tellis for years is switching to Koodo.


Having said that I hear the bell has a good deal as well.
Tellis i in ontario.  I live in exeter ontario just north of London.

Re: Choosing Provider

2013-12-26 Thread Sharon Ballantyne
Dear Chris,

I am also in southern Ontario. I think all the three providers have good 
coverage in southern Ontario. Look at the packages being offered and perhaps go 
with the payment range and coverage depending on what data you are wanting and 
phone options.

I am with Bell and have not had any problems but if you do need to call Bell 
for something, my experiences is be prepared for a long time on hold.

Virgin is associated with Bell. My daughter just dropped her Bell service and 
went with Virgin. She went from an iPhone 4 to the 5S and is really enjoying it.

You might also inquire about support as that may be a helpful factor as well.

Depending on the warranty plan you go with, costs can also bump up.

That sounds like an awesome price point.

Peace and Positivity

Sharon
