What cell phone plans are you guys using?

Roam Mobile uses tmobile for a carrier....are they any good? Am currently using Telus in Alberta and they have good coverage in the bush. Best coverage you can get, arguably

 

Just got some dirt on a Telus plan. Small business north america 150. 150 bucks and you get 2gb unlimited everything else including vm 10 conference call and text away as well (not while driving thats nuts) UNLIMITED MINUTES from anywhere in n america to anywhere else in n america. No video or picture text from the u.s. tho...not a deal breaker...email it. Must be registered to a company with an incorporation date and adress.....works for me. They are only open business hours but I can live with that 18665582273. Looking for a downside...maybe that the people in the us can't phone me back for free but that's not a big deal. Only carry one phone! I"m so happy I could sit

 

I have decided to go with straight talk. $60 a month. Everything unlimited included calling back to canada. Getting my iPhone unlocked and buying the SIM card at Walmart and order the dual sim adaptor on line so I can just use one phone. See if this works I guess???

 

For Canada I use koodo for $55.00/month I get unlimited calling in Canada 24/7 and 2gb of data every month which is plenty for me. When I got to the states I use a net10 pay as you go phone. I use $45.00 card which gives me 600 minutes and that lasts me about 2 to 3 months. I don't use data in the states though. Net10 has an unlimited voice and data option that will allow you to call into Canada from the states and call anywhere in the states for $65.00/ per month. I find there coverage is excellent. Also with koodo and net10 you are not locked into any contracts.

 

We are based in southern Ontario and run into NY, PA, CT, VT, NY, MD, DE quite a bit. We have 6 phones and a Verizon plan that allows us 5000 minutes anytime, anywhere in Canada or USA. No roaming no long distance. 1000 texts/month for $10. The plan is no longer available and they have replaced it with a cheaper plan that only allows 1000 Canadian minutes.

Coverage is WAY, WAY better than when we had Bell or Telus. We are paying $550/month for 6 phones vs $1200 - $1300 with Bell and Telus. I don't use the data much....usually just turn it off while in Canada or yes that would break the bank. Mostly I use WI-FI hot spots while in Canada which is perhaps not readily available along your remote routes.
