Hello Rob Mccart!

I get get at least two of those every month.

The 5G is the big draw, but obviously you will only get what  
the nearby towers (and our phone) can support.   They just want  
you to switch out of the perfectly fine self-managed phone  
account that you currently enjoy.  Mind you, as a Bell 5G  
account holder, you may get top priority for data-service at  
peak usage periods.

$30/mo that includes USA calling + 40GB sounds pretty good  
indeed.  I currently pay $29/mo and only max at 27GB with all  
the bonuses, and there is *no* USA calling.

But Nonamemobile (masquerading as PCMobile) comes close with  
their $29/mo plan that includes USA calling too.

I doubt that it would lock in like Lucky does it.  Check the  
small print for "we reserve the right to increase monthly  
charges" ..or something like that.

BTW...  your SLMR..
