The Gunslinger posted:I have no idea but I doubt it. It's one of those situations where one person was handling all of the finances. There's also a device balance on her phone which complicates things. Ugh. Yeah, I worked as a Bell call centre drone and if your name isn't on the account or in the authorised names field I'd just nope you off the call.

mewse posted:Not that I'd ever suggest doing this but if you have a person of the correct gender call in with all the correct identifying information, then what would stop them from porting out the number, security questions? Porting is all done by the receiving carrier. If they wanted to say with Rogers that would work.

If they're on that bad of terms now is a device tab balance that big of an issue? :justport:

Dillbag posted:That, 2 year contract max, and a ban on SIM locking once a contract is up. But yea, it's not enough. I'd argue the 2 year contract thing ultimately failed in implementation because now they've just axed device subsidies entirely in favour of device financing, while not lowering the price of plans to reflect the now lack of device subsidy.  When cell plans now look more like car leases you know it's all out of hand. less than three fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Feb 23, 2020 |

Knowing Canadian Cellular they'll graciously reduce data overage rates to $10/gb, down from the current $22/gb or some other meaningless bullshit. edit: it's even less. this is TELUS and Koodo quote:Until the end of April, we will support you by: less than three fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Mar 14, 2020 |

Anything other than signing up online by yourself (which is still a crapshoot) is asking for trouble. Don't believe anything told to you at an in person kiosk, even more so the 3rd party like Wirelesswave/TBooth

Lexicon posted:How on earth does it make sense for Telus to be involved at all? Why would I not just do a Facetime/Duo call with the doc and cut out the middleman? True. But in the grand scheme of things TELUS has been acquiring healthcare companies left and right over the years to build themselves up as a major benefits/pharmacy/health provider.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/rural-telco-customers-internet-costs-increase-1.5561755 We can't offer unlimited data for safety reasons. Unlimited data would (somehow) put 911 service and first responders at risk!I swear they have a department that solely exists to make up bullshit excuses, no matter how unbelievable, to justify their gouging ways.

Rogers, Bell, and TELUS have all announced they're snubbing Huawei and going with Ericsson/Nokia, so I guess it saves the government from having to make the official decision.

So I switched to Public Mobile yesterday, and despite the plan saying you'll be capped to 3mbps, is it not widely enforced? I'm getting this on LTE+

Yeah. That'd be 23/mo for 1gb, or 33 for 2gb. If you do it, get a referral code from the Goons already on PM. You get  and we get $1/mo credit.

mom and dad fight a lot posted:What's the non-poo poo stuff these days? $35/month is about as much as I really feel like paying, 1gb is a decent bump from my 100mb (I don't really use much data), and I'm in a small BC town. From the Koodo screenshot, Tab Small is $10/mo in addition to whatever it says there. If you want a phone subsidy, it's merely okay. If you're doing BYOD don't bother.

ArcaneMan posted:Question: I have a toronto 416 number. I moved to a different province years ago and just kept my number/plan because long distance isn’t a thing anymore. I now want a new phone/plan. Yes. Virtually everyone has nationwide calling now so it's not a big deal. You might need to adopt an SK number to get those sweet SK plans though.

To add another page to the countless pile that wireless data is artifically restricted for nothing but profit, TELUS is now offering the following LTE data plans for rural customers: 100GB $60/mo 500GB $75/mo 1TB $110/mo If you enter an urban address, the offer is not available to you, gently caress you pay $75 for 20gb.

Rooted Vegetable posted:So it appears that, through my employer (EPP), I can get either Rogers or Telus service at Freedom prices. 30% discount of the service fee basically for the 15gb + Canada Wide anything plans (for both), usually $80, around $56. Activation fee also waved in the the case of Telus. Mobility EPP doesn't count for bundle discounts.
