   Hello Rob!   
      
   ** On Tuesday 05.08.25 - 08:38, you wrote to me:   
      
    AA>> Then, a little while later, there was a $29/mo option, for   
    >> 25GB.  So, I switched to that.   
      
    RM> Was that a full phone plan, unlimited everything in   
    RM> Canada, and the Data?   
      
   Yep.. the full enchilada.  Actually, the $29/mo plan was only     
   intended for new customers, and they had accidentally included     
   it for existing customers to pick. BUT.. they had the "error"     
   in place for nearly a month! ..so, I'm not too sure if that was     
   a mistake.  Anyway, I had a friend who I encouraged to take it!     
   ..but he waited into the 4th week of the listing.. but by then,     
   the 29$/mo plan was removed for existing customers - he said     
   the agent claimed that the $29/mo plan was only for new     
   customers and that it was an error to list it for existing     
   customers.  So, go figure.   
      
   I gladly registered 3 of my SIM devices to the $29/mo plan,     
   down from the $40 one!   
      
      
    RM> I checked out some of their better sounding plans last   
    RM> year but most of the really good ones were just for new   
    RM> customers.   
      
   Yep.. Lucky still seems to disfavour existing (long-time)     
   customers!   
      
      
    RM> I did manage to get my unlimited in Canada 4G plan with 16   
    RM> gig of data  (with loyalty bonuses and such) for $35. That   
    RM> was good enough for me so I haven't even checked for new   
    RM> plans there since.   
      
   Lucky recently dropped and USA calling from their base plans.      
   Now, USA calling is an "extra" minimum $10/mo.   
      
      
    AA>> I use a ZTE MF279T that serves phone [thru my regular   
    AA>> household wiring] and data via wifi. ...   
      
    RM> My sister has a system like that. I still actually have a land   
    RM> line here (wireless hand sets). It only costs me about $29 a   
    RM> month so I've held onto it. Most people pay over $40 for that   
    RM> and if mine goes up to that I'd probably drop the land line   
    RM> and use my Cell for everything like most people do these days.   
      
   Yep.. I had a couple landlines to my house, and they were     
   around $25-$29 before tax too.  I was surpised that the minimum     
   for *new* Bell landline customers was $60-$80!  ..so I hung on     
   the landlines.  But the constant reoccurrence of buzz and hum     
   twice a year (sping and fall - two very wet seasons) started to     
   drive me crazy. As soon as I learned that a landline phone can     
   be "ported" to cell (ie. without losing the original number) I     
   went for it!   But now at $29/mo I get unlimited canada-wide     
   calling, +vmail + callforwarding, callwaiting.. etc, that the     
   landline did not have.
