I assume you could always sign up for the regular 2GB plan and then switch out for the 4GB if they ever re-introduce it?

I had to deal with a hosed up interac transfer a few months ago and the CIBC people were far more helpful than TD. Idk.

Lobok posted:And I think the card lasts for about a year, too, right? Do you get a slightly better price if you go back to the States within that time? I've used Roam for trips there too but never so frequent that I could make use of those offers and reminders they always sent me afterwards. Literally the first time I've used Roam, so I dunno. I'll have to see next year which is likely the earliest I'll be heading back stateside.

Looks like low speed data is now the new thing after Public came out with their stupid 3G plans: https://mobilesyrup.com/2017/12/01/lucky-mobile-bell-canada-prepaid-wireless-carrier/ Bell's getting into the act.

So how on earth does Fido advertise their data as being time based rather than transfer based?! Like what does "an extra 4 hours of data a month" mean? It makes zero sense.

Yeah I phrased it badly, I meant you don't have to go to your old carrier to do anything, you give the IMEI and account # to the new one and they do a pull.

Looks like I'm back in the arms of Big Red thanks to a work-related offer. Public Mobile was good while it lasted but for and extra six bucks a month for more data and better calling options across Canada and the US I ain't complaining.

It's not fine at all. All their old plans, Lomé yhe one I had until recently, were full LTE speeds until they decided to choke new plans to slower speeds. It's bullshit.

Any good recommendations for a cheap non-smart phone for my mom to take with her in the car? She recently bought some LG monstrosity from Koodo and returned it because it was way more tech than she actually needs.

It's just slower, they call it "3G speed" because it's the only thing a regular consumer would understand.
