Was that a full phone plan, unlimited everything in Canada, and
the Data? I checked out some of their better sounding plans last
year but most of the really good ones were just for new customers.

I did manage to get my unlimited in Canada 4G plan with 16 gig
of data  (with loyalty bonuses and such) for $35. That was good
enough for me so I haven't even checked for new plans there since.

My sister has a system like that. I still actually have a land
line here (wireless hand sets). It only costs me about $29 a
month so I've held onto it. Most people pay over $40 for that
and if mine goes up to that I'd probably drop the land line
and use my Cell for everything like most people do these days.
