You guys, Bell is so rad. They released the official CTV Olympics app, so you can watch the games on your phone or tablet! Maybe on your sweet new JellyBean-running phone on that sweet sweet Bell 4G LTE network!

slidebite posted: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? If you don't turn mobile data on in settings this will never be an issue...? 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.

rexelation posted:Anybody heard of Zoomer Wireless? They have a double everything promo right now so for $40.50 you get 500 Canada-wide minutes and 1GB data. Some Googling suggest they were own by CityFone which is now own by Rogers. Their website suggest they use the Roger's 3G/LTE network. Will I have to deal with Roger's customer service rep? I'm currently with Fido and my contract ends in 2 days. This looks almost too good to be true. I'd suggest calling and asking them some questions, as both Zoomer Media and CARP are orgs for seniors, and the phone plans are intended for them. As per the legal stuff at the bottom, the plans come with a CARP membership and you have to be at least 55 years old to get one of those.

BGrifter posted:I'm going to be heading to the states for a week soon and was wondering what my best option is for a small amount of minutes/text messaging/maybe 250mb of data? I'm currently on Koodo but I'm leery about using any sort of roaming addon after hearing horror stories for years about people with thousand dollar cell phone bills. Any suggestions/tips/warnings? I use Koodo's USA add-ons multiple times a year with no trouble at all and am willing to vouch for it (never bothered with data though).

BGrifter posted:I've reached my breaking point with my folks hanging on to their crummy old flipphones. What's the best option to get a couples plan in BC with a pair of subsidized 16gb iPhone 5s? They won't need much data at all, cheaper is better. Not in Vancouver so Wind is out. Would just getting them newer flip phones be an option? Older people with Too Much Phone is a whole new set of problems for you and them.

Mederlock posted:So I've been with Tekus for five years and currently have 3 GB's, the my fave 5 thing, 15 mins long distance, voicemail+CID, and 250 mins+early evenings and weekends calls, as well as Text+sms for like 67$ a month(got some decent concessions from the loyalty dept. Over the years). What would be the best way to retain a similar plan and get up to 6 GB's? I'm one of the people who got released from my contract by the CRTC ruling, but I'm kind of new to the loyalty dept. Stuff (my mother did it before, she's good at that poo poo) The only way you could get even close to 6gb at that price would be to do the Saskatchewan/Manitoba Koodo plan workaround.

This means that Wind's coverage is officially better in the US than here. That's even more hosed up than that other company charging a base rate for literally nothing.

P-Value Hack posted:
Find as many people as you can that have Wind in your area and ask them what the coverage is really like. Because Wind tends to be garbage and you could end up not getting any signal inside buildings or anywhere near your home or work. Sometimes it's fine, but don't expect it to be.

If there was an affordable data SIM option you could get easily, they would be constantly sold out from residents before tourists could get any.
