Data plans

Have to checked into Wilson Cell boosters, they have auto and home devices that are quite amazing. I use one at the camp on the shores of G Bay where there is almost no signal without it. When going up to bird camp about 40 km off the highway northeast of Eldee I can still text and call the wife.

I have one for my car when I'm at the camp. I can get signal where I've never had signal. Maybe time for one at home.

Thanks for the info here. I'm going to look into it. I'm paying $112.00 a month for 3 gigabytes for one foster teen and $87.00 a months for 2.5 gb for the second foster teen . ............(Bell)

We have a family plan through Rogers - 6 phones and a pager (Me, wife, 4 kids and a work pager - the pager still works better than the phone in some places) plus 15 GB shared, unlimited Can/US calling and texting. $300 per month before tax.

Not to highjack the thread but has anyone found a solution to a landline. My cell phone signal is intermittent in the country so I can't just kill the landline. Bell charges me $60 for a Bell Light package......Light alright.... I'm missing $60 a month that's why it's light. My landline in town cost me around $28 four years ago. I hear Bell offers cheaper landline packages but I can't get the Loyalty dept to admit that.

Do you have high speed internet at your place? DSL or Cable? If you do then contact Tek Savvy and look into their VOIP home phone. This goes in between your modem and your router, this is what we use, they can actually take your existing home number too if you really want to.

This is our backup, our cell phones are primary but we do drop calls in our house at times.

For Cell plans, 3GB $56.50 a month after tax, for home internet we have Tek Savvy, $26 a month plus tax for 400GB.

I pay about $95 for 10gig data, unlimited text calling with bell. Although I had $285 over data charge last month, not sure what from either lol

Didn't you get a warning when you consumed 95% of your data limit??? If they didn't push you an email and/or sms text warning, I'd be all over that ... they should reverse ALL the charge as you could argue with a warning, you could have easily turned off your cell data.

When you sign up, you know what your limit is and it's your responsibility to check, not for the provider to run around you with a little wand to warn you.

Yeh I remember getting the text message. That's the only over charge I've ever gotten in 5+years. I think I was watching videos when it wasnt on wifi or something. Who knows

You should be able to setup your phone to notify you too, some let you shut off data when you max out, mine lets me know at 75%, then I par down for the rest of the month.

I get text massages from my provider let me know that i have reached 75% and how many days i have left before extra charges start.
