maybe i could get a sick US based plan with low roaming and then reduce my Rogers plan to the minimum and have all the calls forwarded to my US number…
at $80 usd per month plus say $30 cdn per month that would be sweet, it woudl cut my monthly bill in half

Sorry, I mean have two numbers: One for you US clients, and one for your canadian clients.
It’s an investment, that’s for sure. With my rogers and t-mobile plans, I pay $67/month including taxes, fees, etc. total.
I probably don’t talk as often to the US as some of you guys, but it works for me.
hmm…
i use 1800 minutes in Canada every month, prolly only 100 - 200 are US calls, the rest of the minutes are in canada or from canada.
if i reduced my rogers plan to $30 a month and forwaded all my cdn calls to that phone i could just use the US phone but it looks like roaming is 49 cents a minute = not cool.
i used to have a bell plan at $30 a month + 10 cents a minut elong distance which was usually $140 a month or so, but i use the phone almost twice as much now.
thing is, my fiance is in a different area code, but wont be soon, so we wont need as many minutes or as much long distance.
oh what to do…
Bing, just because you’re Chinese doesn’t mean you’re no good at buying phones. No need to hate.
Really though, go to howardforums.com. It’s TO based, so most people are local, and you’ll find the phone you want at a really good price.
I’m in the same boat…
I use about 1600-2000 minutes a month within Canada, I have access to free long distance by other means, but I haven’t been able to find a very good plan in Canada.
My last phone bill was $120. I think Rogers has a plan which includes unlimited incomming calls which I’m considering switching to, otherwise our plans are pretty shit.
i got ripped off by a dude on howard forums for the treo…
but then i scored a fantastic deal on another V60…
almost evens out but not quite
Bing, be sure to leave feedback about the ripoff. If/when I buy on Howardforums, I make sure to check the feedback of the seller. I wouldn’t want to buy from a person who doesnt stand behind their product.
Thanks,

What benefit is to buying a Cell Phone that has no contract? You must buy a contract to operate it anyways right? If I bought a GSM phone that was unlocked and from someone on HForums.com how would I be able to use it if it has no contract? Anyways thanks for your help.
you never have to sign a contract.
i pay $250 + per month on my cell plan and refuse to sign a contract because if i get pissed off i switch immediately… i’ve done it twice.
i also cancelled with rogers 2 months ago and wound up with a $245 credit because they see i am not on a plan and spending mad $$$ so they take that shit seriously.
when you buy a new phone you get a discount when you sign up for 3 years but that shit is ghey… they can do whatever they want to you when you are locked in for 3 years.
but i dont wanna go back with bell because my sim card has too much $hit on it now…
we desperately need cingular and verizon up here…
my buddies in the US pay like $50 a month for unlimited calling anywhere in the US… that shit is bonanza

I have a T-Mobile sim which on a “pay as you go” plan. It costs me less to use it from Canada than the long distance on rogers, even with a T-Mobile roaming charge.
If you deal with the States a lot, you may want a US plan that can roam in Canada. It may be cheaper for you.
