Mobility Mobility

今日行過時代坊,有間o野叫mobility, $40+稅一個月,無合約,unlimited calling, unlimited north america, unlimited data 同埋一堆service

但係唔知佢收得好唔好,仲有佢support唔到iphone

我rogers 果邊如果要cancel o既話$325+稅, 但係我依家交緊$80 一個月,700分鐘通話,unlimited browsing (用部癈電話), rogers to rogers/fido, 仲有18個月約

舊plan $80 x 18 個月 = $1440
新plan $325+hst= $364
雖然無合約,但係用18個月o既話 = 18 x $40 x 1.12 = $806.4
即係大約$1131...我點都慳o左 $308, 仲要多o左個data plan

打o左上rogers, 佢最多減到我$55 x 1.12 = $61.6, 但係又要三年約

唔知有無人試過mobility? 新工需要成日check email,好想轉埋台

你可以俾 $40 試用佢一個月, 睇下你成日去既地方收得好唔好. 還店又無 Contract, 掂既咪 Cut 左 Rogers, 唔掂咪 Stay 番響 Rogers.

It's called Mobilicity, a newly established company, originally called DAVE wireless. They came in at the same time as Globalwind and Public, of which they are using the new AWS (1700Mhz) spectrum for UMTS/HSPA service (3.5G)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilicity

They are not GSM service provider and outside of their coverage they are relying on Rogers GSM network for a charge. At this moment, their coverage seems to be within the city limit.

This is just like Fido in 1996, they have little coverage and now bought by Rogers. If I am not mistaken, I bet that the big 4 will be buying out these companies to save $$$ when the market is ready for AWS.

    thanks for ur info...
"within city" 即係surrey, langley 收唔收到?

Everything cheap is for a reason.
I also agree you may try them for a month, challenge it with underground and enclosed areas and the farthest distance you usually go, see how good or bad it is. Cuz sending and receiving calls and emails are important to you, you don't want to risk it no matter how cheap it could be.

You can check the coverage map so you know where you are:

Seems that in Richmond, east of Hwy 99 has no coverage all the way until New West. Delta and Surrey to Tsawassen  has no coverage.

It's not really you have no reception, just that you have to pay roaming because they are on Rogers when out of coverage.

Actually the mentioned area (in pink) is the unlimited usage area using 3.5G.  Part of Richmond, NW, Delta and Surrey are covered under "National coverage", probably roaming to Roger's 2G.

"Within Mobilicity's Unlimited Coverage area you get unlimited use of all the features in your plan on a 3.5G network. And when you're in the Nationwide Coverage area you can still use your phone for talk, text and data for a low pay-per-use rate."

I've been with them for about 3 weeks now. All I can say is that indoor reception isn't that great, and data is inconsistent as well.

However, when there is signal, phone call quality is like a landline and data is also very good. Obviously they've only been around for a month of so, so for people to think that their coverage will be as good as the Big 3 or 4 in the first month of their existence, those people need to get their brains checked.

I think we should support these new companies who have competitive price plans, or else we'll keep getting ripped off by Robbers, Failus, Diedo, and Fell just like the OP with his/her $80/month plan.

But then again, if iPhone is your thing, you'll need to wait for Apple to make an AWS compatible version of the iPhone or else you just need to suck it up and donate your money to Robbers.
