   They still show the $29 for 20GB so it hasn't suffered too badly.   
      
   AA>You have to decide fast.  Aug 6 will introduce a new set of   
     >"plans".   
      
   Hopefully I won't regret what I changed to after that, although it's   
   always easy enough to change your plan.   
      
   The plan I was working on went through as of the next billing period.   
   I wasn't quite sure what they do if you change your plan in the middle   
   of a billing month, if you lose money or get a credit and a new billing   
   date but I didn't mind waiting a couple of weeks and leaving the dates   
   as they were. I got an eMail from them saying it's now scheduled so it   
   all looks good.   
      
   RM> You asked something about Top Up Balances not getting used

   AA>What I mean is that with auto-topup (via credit card or   
     >qualifying debit card) your existing and banked Lucky dollars   
     >never get used for payment. The only way to force the system to

   Okay, I see that. I have about $7.50 Lucky Dollars and I figured the   
   only way to use it was to buy some extras one month but I haven't had   
   a need for anything so far.   
      
   RM> they offer super deals to new customers,   
   RM> but not to us loyal long-time customers   
      
   AA>You can still come in as a new user, and add that account to   
     >your existing login if you want.  Luckymobile doesn't seem to   
     >care.   
      
   That just seems odd. You're either new or not, and if you add on the   
   account doesn't that leave you paying for 2 separate accounts, the bulk   
   of which is for the unlimited phone use so adding more of that is no use.   
      
   RM> I hate to change suppliers but another place with super   
   RM> plans these days is the NoName Mobile plans put out by   
   RM> Loblaws stores. I saw that on a NoFrills store flyer and   
   RM> checked it out online and the plans look really good   
      
   AA>I wasn't really aware that NoFrills had a NoName mobile   
     >offering until few weeks ago. The pricing seems very close if   
     >not identical.   
      
   Most of it is fairly close, although I saw it before seeing the new   
   offers from Lucky so it was a bit of a shock. I think on the lower   
   priced plans at NoName you get US calling included which I don't   
   think hits the cheaper plans at Lucky but I could jump from 10 gig   
   at $35 to 80 gig with US calling thrown in at Lucky for another $5   
   which is tempting at that price even if I'll probably never use the   
   extra data or the US calling..   
      
   One thing they said was being cut off as 'incompatible' was the   
   extra 2 gig I was getting on my old plan for having automatic top up.   
   Do you have that set up and did they give you something extra for   
   that on the new plan?
