Cross border cell plans

I have t-mobile. $80 gets me unlimited USA calling with unlimited data, I get 5GB at 3g speed(good enough to stream movies). Once 5gb is used I get data at 2g. Within that $80 I have a $10 add on that gives me international calling/texting. This is a monthly,pay as you go,no contract phone. After 3 months t-mobile will give you a code to "unlock" the phone so you can use it with other carriers if you choose not to stay with t-mobile.

Once you cross into Canada on this plan the phone will not work without a wi-fi signal which means there will be no surprise bills.

I went into Walmart,bought a phone (Android) then activated it over the same phone through t-mobile while using my Canadian address.

The phone can be used in Canada through "wi-fi" calling at no extra charge. As long as you have a wi-fi signal you can use your phone in Canada without incurring charges. Without a wifi signal in Canada the phone will not be able to call out/in.

 

So unless you're in a Starbucks or McDonalds the phone is useless....why bother at all?

 

this is 2012,you know that right

 

This phone works from my wi-fi home service.

It is the only contact number my company has which is very convenient.

 

You can add North American coverage to you Bell plan BUT getting a Verizon phone is half of what Bell will cost you!

 

Bell sucks. As soon as my plan is done I'm going to koodo. Way cheaper. I stay off the phone as much as possible in the US but I did buy a $20 Tracphone and the 1yr card plus it comes with double minutes so $79 buys me 450 mins, doubles to 900 mins and that lasts me a couple months no sweat. I use my laptop and skype if I'm somewhere there's internet connection. And just to clarify..... BELL SUCKS....

 

Priced out bell, right around the same price as my Roger's phone. About 300/month I don't have texting that's about a 50/month touch. 850 minutes talk time, flex rate data (limit gets upped when i go over) so yes bell has it. Ask for north American business plans

 

Get a Verizon phone....best coverage in North America @ the best price.
