Cell phone plans in Canada are a joke. I pay around $80CAD a month and I get 10gig data, no ability to buy more once I run out either (only my carrier does this though, most you can buy per gig after you run out, but it's extremely expensive) - It's cheaper and better for me to get an ATT sim from the US and use it in Canada (and that's indeed what i've done).
- FractalParadigm 5y agoI've got a Rogers 50GB 'Unlimited' plan, with the phone financing I'm paying just north of $175/mo - when you approx the 'max-speed limit' they send you a text offering 3GB for $10, or 10GB for $30, just reply A or B and it'll automatically go on your plan on your month. There's no limit to the number of times you can do this, but it's a little sickening paying that much money for such little data.
- neom 5y agoI should do that, I just moved back to Canada having been gone for a very long time, so I don't have credit here - it was way easier to go on a bell prepaid plan. Wait till the europeans heads exploding see our prepaid plans.. haaaah....
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoDo you find you go through that much data? Do you do a lot of tethering?
- shawnz 5y agoI have been quite happy with my grandfathered 6gb for $30 plan from Freedom Mobile. Their currently available plans aren't so bad either. In the past they have had poor signal compared to Rogers but these days it's fine for me in Toronto. For example you might want to consider their current 10GB for $40 plan here: https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/plans?planSku=Freedom%202GB https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/plans?planSku=Freedom%202... (note there are some conditions to get the full 10GB of data)
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoAgreed, thought I think you're in a special sort of hell. I'm on Bell and I'm at $75 / 20GB "Unlimited". After the 20GB I'm reduced down to 512KB/s so I never actually get cut off or a huge additional charge.
- ipsi 5y agoYikes. Even in Germany, which is probably the most expensive EU country for mobile plans (yay...), and using the most expensive carrier (Telekom DE), it's €39.99 (CA$58) for 6GB, €49.95 (CA$73) for 12GB, €59.95 (CA$88) for 24GB, and Unlimited for €84.95 (CA$125). Plus you can get additional SIM cards (for an Apple Watch or an iPad, for example) for €4.95 (CA$7.27)/month.
