Looking at jumping ship from Mobilicity, E?

Looking at jumping ship from Mobilicity, E? | yeah, looking at the S3 now and sick of the 150 MB/hr throttle cap. After they fucked me out of my $2/month off for life promo. I think its time to say my goodbyes to Mobi.  | |

meh. i did look into the fact that the s3 isnt running on quad on wind and played around with my friend's LTE s3 from rogers, i hardly notice the difference between the 2 just because i just mostly use fb, email or any online stuff on my phone
and battery life is almost the same, unless your indoors and wind has reception of 2 bars, then it will drain more quickly, although data and calling is still functional
im surprise wind has reception on most part of grouse grind today.. reception was lost just literally 10 mins away from the top

Is Rogers' S3 quad? I'm pretty sure that all North American S3s are dual. The Korean S3LTE only came out a month or two ago...and we all know NA is way behind the curve.

the first time i went to do the grouse grind, i was surprised i was able to txt for most of the time going up. yea it did cut out just before the top, but then it came back on again. i tend to pay attention to my coverage when i'm in areas where i think i'll have 0 reception at all (ie. heading up to cypress i'll have reception. and at the top i'm on away, which isn't that bad at all)

^ No, the $15 plans no longer exist. The closest thing would be the Pay Your Way plans, which may be a better deal.

Want to share my input on how Wind Mobile's warranty service.
I've had the Samsung Nexus for about 10 months now and it all of a sudden wouldn't turn on (tried everything). Brought it in the main center at Thurlow and Robson on Aug 18 (told me it would take 2 weeks to get it fixed).
It's now been 1 month and I'm still on a loaner phone (that won't install / load / run apps).
Not impressed thus far with the time it takes for them to fix a phone.

Apple is the only cellphone manufacturer that will swap a broken phone with you right on-the-spot. This is the only thing I miss about being an iPhone user - the customer service.

Essentially, for $10 per month (20c/min x 50 minutes) for Pay Your Way, you get 50 minutes airtime, unlimited incoming calls AND call display, that's a heck of a lot better deal. Think of it as paying $5 per month less, with more features. For an additional $5/month, you get unlimited North America text. That's a pretty awesome $15 plan to me.

Well pretty pleased to make the switch from Mobi this weekend. This morning clocked 6Mbps down and 1Mbps up. The fastest speeds I've ever seen on my Note. Posted via RS Mobile  | |
