IMO Koodo & Virgin tend to be the best bang for the buck, with Fido close behind. Koodo and Virgin also have excellent customer service in my experiences.

Also remember you can change your plan up to once a month, so start with a smaller plan and if you find yourself running low on data or minutes every month, bump up to a bigger one. I know a lot of people paying way too much for overkill plans because they worry about going over, yet their actual usage is piddly.

im on bell, $55 for 6gb and all the other basic daytimme,caller id, unlimited and so on. 2 year plan, renewed it from my previous 3 year

help revscene

my 3 year plan is finally over, current phone is s2
plan is 200mins free after 6 unlimited text voice mail caller id 500mb data for $60

im looking for s5 2 year contract
200mins free after 6 unlimited text voice mail caller id 1gb data for $70

carrier is telus they said that caller id and voice mail is extra but the would throw it in for free since ive been a loyal customer 10+years

what other deals does the big 3 carriers have?

Fido has their $44 plan
500 mins
500 mb data
unlimited after 5pm
unlimited text
caller id
voicemail

For $64
you can get
unlimited minutes
1gb data
everything else the same


sounds like, your deals aren't very good. try to get telus to beat fido's plans.

$70 is expensive, this is only $30 from Wind, unlimited everything.

the thing is fido nor wind carries the s5

Fido will carry the s5, pre-orders are available if you are with them.

Really depends on your usage. I have an S4 with 600MB a month and rarely go over it.

I use my data a lot on instagram, twitter, chrome and snapchat.

I think you should be safe with 1GB. 3GB is way too much.

lol wut

3GB is way too much. Yeah he'll need it if he's streaming YouTube with data but theres a reason why we have WiFi ;)

wind has the S5 and One M8 listed as "coming soon" on their website

i didnt see on the website thanks

telus has the phone for 229 2 year and fido is 400 monthly plan is $6 difference

lol$400 up front with a 2year contract @@ Fido is out of their mind......... I was expected like $200 with a 2 year contract. I guess I should be happy that I got the s4 for $100 with 2 year (got it as some sort of promo).

Just looking at their website it seems fido is charging crazy for their phones, it almost seems better to buy a Nexus 5 form google and go on their plan with the 10% disccount BYOP promo.

I'm just stating that Fido has it , i could care less about android.

I posted fido's plans for you with the intention that you use it for leverage to negotiate with telus. My guess is that you can easily get them to match Fido's plan. Getting them to beat Fido's plan will require a little more work on your part :concentrate:

if you bring up Wind's plan, they will probably just tell you to leave Telus.

i dont get how rogers&telus are still in business with those insane rates! starting at $80 with only 500mb :fulloffuck:

iirc they're higher priced than before Wind arrived

cheaper phones maybe?

I've been browsing Fido's plans recently
and if you are willing to pay more per month, they give you a bigger subsidy on the phone.

For example, with the $44 plan i mentioned earlier, the Galaxy S4 costs $450. But if you pay $49, then the phone costs $150. so you pay $5 more per month, but you in the end you spend $30 less overall.

I'm waiting for the S5 to come out, and the S4 prices to drop before making changes :accepted:

Got the S4 for 4100 on a two year contract with fido just a week ago -D

You got ripped off.. paying 4100 for any phone.. :troll:

i'm gonna assume you mean $100. what's the price on your plan?

yes $100. I had a plan before but phone broke. So I paid out the contract (like less than $100) and the phone is for $100 but I have around $36 fido dollars so I used that

My plan is $56 unlimited Canada talk, Unlimited text to Canada and US 2GB of data VM caller ID.

Wind is going to carry the S5, you can pre-register here:

https://www.windmobile.ca/about-us/insider-info

Thats a pretty good plan.. mine is same except not US txt and with 5GB data for $49.50

Maybe the nexus 5 eats up data but 15 min a day on IG alone takes up 300-400 mb a month for me. 10 min of youtube will be 100-200 mb.

It's waaaay too easy to eat up 1gb of data even just messing around on the phone when you're out. I'd rather pay a little extra for 3gb and not have to worry about going over.


The more I look at it, Wind is fantastic. $40 unlimited everything with no contract. Only downside is I can't go back to iphone with Wind :(

The thing with Wind/Mobilcity is they do have a soft cap (fair usage) on the "unlimited" data, 5 or 6 gb and once you go over that limit they throttle your speed. If you just need data and don't care much about its speed then i guess it's fine.
