Speakout 30day plan any good?
 
Cheap Prepaid Cell Phone Rates in Canada | SpeakOut™ 7-Eleven® Wireless

HAve you guys used this ?

They have a 35$ 400 mins anytime plus CID VM, and unlimited text and data plan.

Is this any good? how is reception and how fast is data and are there any boundary like wind and mobilicity?

It seems pretty hot?

They use the Rogers network.

Their data isn't worth it. I was with them for one month because I thought I would save money but it's terrible. Their data is slow and the images are terrible quality since they have to go through Speakout's proxy. Also not all Android/iPhone/Blackberry/Windows Phone apps will work with Speakout's data. Though they do use Rogers towers so wherever you have Rogers signal, you'll have Speakout signal.

I switched from a month of Speakout to a Rogers Prepaid plan. My plan details are as follows:
-Rogers Pay By The Minute: All Day Plan: $0.25/first 5 minutes of day then $0.15/minute for the rest of the day.
-$5/month Text Messaging bundle: Reduces all text messaging costs to $0.02 per outgoing text and all incoming texts are now free.
-$10/month Data Add On: This gives me 100MB of Data. There's also the option of $25/month for $500MB of Data but I never pass 100MB of Data. There's the Day Pass of $1 for 10MB if you only use it to check emails once a week, and their Week Pass of 5$ for 60MB of data for the week.

That gives me the minimum monthly cost of $15/month, growing to $30/month. To save your balance, there are apps like Dell Voice, Textme, and Google Voice+VOIP apps that you can use via Wifi/Data for your mobile devices. If you don't have access to such apps(like me, a Windows Phone user) you can use Skype Mobile to dial Toll Free numbers (for free) and MobileVoip for all popular mobile devices that allow free calling to numbers in Canada.
