Apparently Google Play often ships earlier than the date they give so there's hope.

I've been on a corporate Rogers plan for about five years and can't remember any launch times being different.

I have a question about 7-11 Speakout. We want a very basic ppd plan phone for emergency purposes for my wife on the cheap. I have my old, old Galaxy S from Telus (unlocked) which I plan to press into service for this purpose. My thought is to buy a 7-11 Speakout SIM for $10 and a $25 card, which will give 365 days of service for a total of $35. Is that the cheapest way to go? Speakout seems to have the best minutes expiry plan out of everyone that I've seen. Also, since it is a smartphone what happens if it tries to use data? Can I disable all cell data process on an old 2.x android easily enough and just leave basic phone/texting intact?

You can lock it out completely by messing with the APN settings but seriously it's an on/off switch. Just note that you can't send or receive MMS texts (picture texts) without data.

My contract with Rogers expired and I have ported my number to Koodo. I don't need to talk to Rogers about any of this except for the inevitable fight over the extra month they will try to bill me for, right? Contract expired Nov. 22/14. Activated and ported my number to Koodo on Nov. 23/14. Expecting another Rogers Bill Dec. 15. As my billing cycle is on the 15th of every month, it is fair to pay Rogers for Nov. 15-Nov.23, but I'm expecting they'll want it all. Is it even worth fighting with them or should I queue up the CCTS?

I guess the rep was technically right then. Time to see if I can reserve one, business customers don't have access to the same consumer device registration system as everyone else

I read back a few pages but saw no mention of that maneuver where people signed up for a plan from another province and then ported their local number over to keep the cheaper plan from that province (Manitoba?). Is that still a thing? I'm looking to sign up for a new place in December and the Ontario plans are all so bad for 1 GB of data.

You should look into corporate plans if you can. I just got a pretty sweet 60$ plan through telus, and you might too.

If you guys have a select smartphone on Rogers (off the top of my head, Samsung S3 and newer, HTC One or M8, LG Optimus G and newer, BB Z10, excludes iPhone, excludes windows phone) with a data plan and a Suretap NFC simcard (you'll know because it says SureTap on it) you can get a free $100 prepaid mastercard just for registering on the Suretap Wallet app. I know what your thinking, "there must be some sort of crazy conditions!" because that's what I was thinking, but now I have a $100 credit that I'm about to liquidate into two $50 LCBO giftcards (afaik they have a $50 limit on tap purchases.) All I did was launch the app, it needed an update from the playstore, and sign up for the Rogers Prepaid Mastercard. Less then 10 minutes later I had a $100 balance.

Scudworth posted:Koodo's 2nd cheapest plan is also 300/300, but country-wide calling and unlimited worldwide text/MMS. If you check their website, it's the plan for people who want the latest i/Galaxy S phone on subsidy. Koodo's equivalent is the Tab Large plan, which starts at $85 for unlimited minutes and 750MB of data.

Yeah, in the 1-2GB range I think all the providers end up being around the same price. My $75 plan doesn't even exist anymore, to get the same 1GB I'd have to pay ~$100 per month. They charge more for less and then have the balls to say "omg what a great deal of course I want to pay to suck your dick!"

The primary purpose of that plan is that it allows you to get full subsidy on an iPhone, rather than spending $80 a month. It's targeted towards old people who want an iPhone but don't plan on using it much, or for kids when parents don't want to spend as much.

I am sure you guys are waiting with baited breath, but the 7-11 Speakout sim works great in my old spare Galaxy S. No data services whatsoever, but calls and texts are fine and keeping the time for a year is a nice plus.PS. Love the cabin posted:lol  FOR A LIMITED TIME.. because it will somehow get worse!
