They just want        you to switch out of the perfectly fine self-managed phone        account that you currently enjoy. Mind you, as a Bell 5G        account holder, you may get top priority for data-service at        peak usage periods.              $30/mo that includes USA calling + 40GB sounds pretty good        indeed. I currently pay $29/mo and only max at 27GB with all        the bonuses, and there is *no* USA calling.              But Nonamemobile (masquerading as PCMobile) comes close with        their $29/mo plan that includes USA calling too.                      RM> There's a $10 discount in there if you set up automatic Payments        RM> and they expect you to supply your own phone of course.               RM> I wonder if Bell locks in a plan like that forever or if they        RM> can change the price on it later?              I doubt that it would lock in like Lucky does it. Check the        small print for "we reserve the right to increase monthly        charges" ..or something like that.              BTW... your SLMR..               RM> -+-        RM> * SLMR Rob * Don't drink and drive, smoke dope and fly home                      ...cuts the subject line short:               Subject: luckymobile offers and la       --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/0 143       SEEN-BY: 153/148 149 151 153 757 6809 7715 154/30 110 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 240/1120 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 5015/46 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35 5080/102       PATH: 153/757 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
