Mobilicity: Huawei Phone + 6-Months of Unlimited Local Calling, North American Text & More $99.99
This deal has expired!
Mobilicity has an interesting new offer - thanks forum user popbottle for the heads up! For a limited time, you can receive a Huawei U2801 phone (a $49.99 value) plus 6 months of the following features for $99.99:
- Unlimited Local Calling
- Unlimited North American Text & Picture Messaging
- Canada-Wide Unlimited Long Distance
- Caller I.D
- Call Waiting
- Call Forwarding
- 3-Way Calling
These features would normally cost $150 for 6 months under Mobilicity's $25-monthly starter plan, so this offer represents a nice savings if you're thinking of going with a basic plan that includes unlimited features and a phone. Since Mobilicity doesn't service all of Canada yet, this promotion is available in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver only. If you're interested, just in keep in mind the offer is valid on new activations only and you'll have to pay the $99.99 + taxes upfront. To learn more, locate a Mobilicity store near you.

and YES mobilicity is tempting. thats why i provided the cell tower map link so you can see if mobilicity has a tower close to your home or wherever you go.
(and for people that don't already know, CHATR is ROGERS so the quality will be the same. just a different name on it.
Do they team up with Wind or Bell or something?
- unlimited local calls anytime -> province wide long distance included
- call display, 50 text messages
- runs off of the ROGERS network so voice quality is the same as rogers
- you can use any unlocked rogers/bell/fido phone
$25/mo(first 8 months, no contract) -> cheapest plan with 100MB is $45, so $35 for 8 months
- unlimited local calls -> canada-wide long distance
- call display unlimited text to canada and the US
- 100 megabytes of DATA

What you mean to say is that chatr offers unlimited long distance within the small chatr zones.
i've been using this one and prefer it as it gives a more detailed view of reported user coverage (link is set to Mobilicity), easier to see dead spots:

Chat-r biggest advantage is the Montreal zone. If only Wind or Mobilicity had gotten Montreal spectrum...
Ottawa's calling area, you cannot even compare. The aws companies fail horribly when you venture into the suburbs (nothing in barrhaven/stittsville/riverside south). when you're within 2-5km the edge of the ottawa zone, forget about going indoors to make a call on any of the sub $200 phones.
I guess GTA is where Wind shines (somewhat). I'd love to be on any of the mobi/wind plans just for the data but they do not exist in montreal.
you go to chatr for cheap high quality voice service $15/mo for 8 months!
I'm planning on moving my parents off their Bell home line onto Chat-r's $25 unlimited talk + bluetooth home phones when their Bell contract is done assuming Rogers doesn't get rid of Chat-r
The only way to use your $80 ChatR credit towards your monthly bill is to pay full price for 8 months, then terminate your pre-authorized payment once you have received your full $80 credits (paid in $10 increments). Then ChatR's system will take each months payment out of your balance. This is how multiple CSRs told advised us to do it.
ChatR data is 3G in the Metro Vancouver coverage area according to my Android phone. However an increasing number of calls went straight to voicemail (2 out of 3 attempts yesterday alone), I'm still investigating.
If you want talk-only + coverage, ChatR is the way to go. We typically do around 25 hours / month of voice on that line.
If you don't talk much and like large data buckets with good coverage, for a big-3 6GB retention plan.
If you like data and can tolerate some coverage holes, go for Mobilicity. I spend 99% of my time in a Mobilicity covered area, but I do notice holes about 5% of the time when I'm shopping on weekends in Metro Vancouver.
I am still waiting for Mob to go a little further west in the Toronto area. Its inexcusable that they don't cover places like Oakville, yet you can be in the furthest reaches of Gatineau and other even more distant backwaters on the Quebec side of the Ottawa region, and get primary coverage. I live just off Trafalgar, Rd and so am in the North American zone, and would pay up the wazoo at this point and time.
