   RM> I wonder if this has something to do with why my account   
   RM> at Lucky last year (the cheaper one at 3G instead of 4G)   
   RM> was changed without any additional cost to 4G?..   
      
   AA>Could be.  But, I went to 4G a different way with my lucky   
     >account.  At the time, I was 3G, [don't remember the GB data   
     >quota] at $45mo.  But I just happend to notice that there was a   
     >4G setting that I was allowed to switch to, and it was only   
     >$40, so that's what I did.  I think it even offered more data.   
      
   AA>Then, a little while later, there was a $29/mo option, for   
     >25GB.  So, I switched to that.   
      
   Was that a full phone plan, unlimited everything in Canada, and   
   the Data? I checked out some of their better sounding plans last   
   year but most of the really good ones were just for new customers.   
      
   I did manage to get my unlimited in Canada 4G plan with 16 gig   
   of data  (with loyalty bonuses and such) for $35. That was good   
   enough for me so I haven't even checked for new plans there since.   
      
   AA>I use a ZTE MF279T that serves phone [thru my regular household   
     >wiring] and data via wifi.  The MF279T dates back to around   
     >2012, but it supports the minimum VoLTE/LTE that Lucky   
     >requires.   
      
   My sister has a system like that. I still actually have a land   
   line here (wireless hand sets). It only costs me about $29 a   
   month so I've held onto it. Most people pay over $40 for that   
   and if mine goes up to that I'd probably drop the land line   
   and use my Cell for everything like most people do these days.
