Cheap Cell Phone Plans?

lovebebe. · 06-19-2008, 09:41 PM

Heey!
I was wondering if you guys know a good and cheap cell phone plan?
Im a student & desperately need a celll! (im pretty broke too)
I knew about the EPP Plan which was pretty good, but Fido and Rogers ended it.
Does anyone know any plans similar like it and is about the same price as it?
Thanks. (:

it really depends on what you are using it for. are you a night chatter that love talking until midnight? do you have tons or people calling you or just a few clsoe friends? is it just for emergencies? do you text (how much)? etc..

there are pay as you go if you are just using it sometimes...

i personally dont talk that much and only have a few people that i talk to alot. my boyfriend is out of town (within canada) and that's about it. i have the my5 plan for $25. so basically it's unlimited text, picture, calling with your my5 (anywhere in canada) and i think mine has 150 weekday and 1000 weekend mins. it's really good because i dont have to buy phonecards and yeah...

lovebebe. · 06-19-2008, 09:52 PM

yea, im definately a night chatter.
and LOL, i have alot of ppl that always try 2 get i ncontact with me 4 parties and everything.
and yea, i would definately text alot, so i dont think my5 would be that great.
do u have any idea if ican make the ppl in Rogers or Fido 2 let me get the EPP Plan, because its such a great deal !

i'm not familiar with the EEP plan but there are always deals coming up. do you really need one soon? you should wait until a special occasion or something because then they have great deals. (ie. vday, xmas, new years, etc...)

ruthiealmighty · 06-19-2008, 10:01 PM

yeah i think the my5 is the best. its 25 dollars and you can choose 5 people unlimited talk and the first three months are free. yu can also upgrade it to my8 for 5 bucks more and if theres anyhting else you need you can always add extra features like call display and text for 10 bucks extra a month.

steph_02 · 06-19-2008, 10:12 PM

The solo mobile unbeatable plans are really cheap there's no system acess fee for $25 you get 100 daytime mins/unlimited text/unlimited evenings and week from 7pm-8am, you dont have to have a contract either

krean · 06-19-2008, 10:46 PM

dont take the contracts!!! it's such a rip off.
my phone bill racks up to like 90 dollars for 2 people each month with the contract.
and you can't change it for 3 years!

Annie =) · 06-19-2008, 11:12 PM

do you have to have 5 people? because i have just about 4...and my plan expires next year so yeah.. im thinking they might have something EVEN better around that time.

bombshell · 06-19-2008, 11:15 PM

the plan is my5... just add someone who might call you sometimes.... it was hard for me to choose 5 people too lol how pathetic huh

rrootbearr · 06-20-2008, 12:51 AM

hmm .. just to tell you,
alot of plans have " hidden charges "
like, you can get a $25 plan, but when you get you bill, your bill would be a lot more expensive due to " hidden charges " like voicemail. .. ect

lianat · 06-20-2008, 01:00 AM

off topic, sorry

but does anyone know how much it is to text long distance (ie. to california)?
