   RM> Funny, just when we've been talking about the plans from Lucky,   
   RM> today I got one of those 'We have an offer from a partner' texts   
   RM> and they offered me a Bell Mobile account at a really good price.   
      
   AA>I get get at least two of those every month.   
      
   I used to get more of them, and lately they usually were not a   
   fantastic deal but this one is the best I've seen.   
      
   AA>The 5G is the big draw, but obviously you will only get what   
     >the nearby towers (and our phone) can support.   
      
   Yes, my phone is 6+ years old so doesn't support 5G and being   
   out here in the middle of nowhere, I doubt any of the towers   
   near here have 5G built into them, but I could be wrong. Maybe   
   Bell Mobility has upgraded more frequentlt than the Bell Land   
   Lines have.   
      
   That said, living in 'cottage country' means a lot of trees   
   everywhere and hilly country and 5G doesn't work very well   
   with any kind of obstacles in the way, plus you are often   
   quite a few miles from a tower and I don't think 5G works   
   from nearly as far from a tower as 4G does..   
      
   RM> I wonder if Bell locks in a plan like that forever or if they   
   RM> can change the price on it later?   
      
   AA>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.   
      
   I know that relatives of mine with Rogers Phone plans have Rogers   
   begging and bribing them to change their plans because they no   
   longer want to offer the plan they've had for years, but only   
   recently has anyone I know well been using Bell, other than Lucky   
   so I wasn't sure. I suppose I could call them and ask but probably   
   shouldn't waste the time if I'm not going to switch over.   
      
   A quick search online says that a lot of people have complained   
   that supposedly fixed Bell rates were changed on them, but it was   
   suggested it doesn't happen very often. That said, with a good   
   deal like this one it would probably be prone to price increases   
   once they get you sucked in..   
      
   AA>BTW...  your SLMR..   ...cuts the subject line short:   
      
   I've noticed that the odd time. I wasn't sure if it just showed   
   that way on my end or if it totally loses the cut part..   
      
   The joys of using 30 year old programs on your computer..   B)   
   (I have to run this in Dos Box..)
