Hi all.
I recently moved to TELUS because of the HTC Desire HD and I didnt get the Call Display hoping I can get it for free with an app. Turns out, I cant and its uberly hard not to have a call display. So it got me thinking and found that we save almost $300 for your whole contract if you change your plan.
Before:
Voice/data plan available to Telus right now. Its $49.99/mo (includes 350 daytime mins, unlimited text, unlimited calling after 6pm&weekends, 500mb data, voicemail, call waiting, conference all), with Taxes and all, its gonna be around $56. (pricing shouldnt be that far for other cities/provinces)
NOW:
Unlimited Voice - unlimited Local Calling, voicemail, call waiting, conference call for $30
Data Lite Package 20 - unlimited message,picture,video, Caller ID, 100 MB data for $20
Since the net price is still $50, i am still gonna be paying the same fee, with the caller ID. YAY! BUT, i am losing 400 MB of data which for myself, I really dont need. I usually connect wifi. If I HAVE to go online, I can just run to my nearest mall/starbucks/safeway if i am outside.
Kinda a hassle if youre running close to your 100MB limit, but I dont see myself doing that more often. What I see is havin that $300 extra after this contract expires.
It got me excited switching from Rogers (Previous Bill $70) WHAT A RIP OFF! HAHA!
I hope this helps out some of my fellow Canadian Androids.
peaceout!
