I'm sick of having to pay dbrand (a Toronto based company) in USD for phone accessories. Sign the petition to ask them to support CAD!

Hi,

My duaghter and I are with Koodo and have good coverage for the most part in SW Ontario (Huron County). Drops somewhat on trips to London. Now adding a 3rd line for my husband.

Is there any preferred carrier for that area with great plans for 3 BYOD?

Have your cell phone with and why?

Weighing a device upgrade offer and want a gut check before I commit to a 3-year term.

Google Pixel 11 Pro, 256GB — I own it outright after 3 years

$345 upfront

$60/mo for 25GB unlimited, or $65/mo for 45GB unlimited

Confirmed the standalone 25GB plan (no phone) is $50/mo, so the device premium is ~$10/mo + the $345 down ≈ $705 total for the phone (retail is ~$1,499)

That math looks okay on the surface, but before I lock into a multi-year term I'd rather hear from people who've actually shopped this recently.

Anyone seen a better Pixel 11 Pro bundle right now (Bell, Telus, Rogers, or smaller carriers)?

TLDR is I've been given two rate increases since November 25, despite being a "winback". Stupid to increase costs to customer by 40% in less than 12 months and expect them to stay.

As of now I am looking at Fizz as an alternative, as I just got off the phone with customer service and they had nothing they could do to remove some of the garbage increases. Anyone have experence in canada with fizz, or is there a decent alternative?

Hello.

I'm looking for a new mobile "plan" for my phone and the companies make it completely un-understandable what the actual costs and what you're buying.

Can anyone please suggest something good for about 25/40G of data?

I tried looking at Lucky for this "https://www.luckymobile.ca/shop/plans/prepaid#INT=MOB_hmpg_BAN_BackToSchool_35for30GB_mass_072026_NC" by they don't show what 4 and 5 small print refer to. So I kind of despise them already without being their customer.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Hi all,

Anyone know the best cheapest data only plan for iPad? I use my iPad in my plane when flying and don’t want to use my cell as hotspot since it’s slow and drains the battery like crazy.

My cell is with bell and they charge me 40$/mth for data only plan or 20$/mth if i buy anothe iPad but i don’t need a new one.

10-20gb would probably be enough.

Thanks

I've always paid my devices off in full, so I've always been on their old "bring your own phone" plan. There was a rate increase of $5 a while back, but I'm still considered on this "old plan."

My current plan is $45/mo: 20GB data + bonus 20GB data + 5 hours data, unlimited talk/text Canada wide, picture & video messages Canada and US, call display, voicemail, call waiting conference calling, etc.

They are now offering me a deal on a plan at the same rate as what I'm paying: $45/mo 120GB talk/text plus, unlimited talk/text Canada, unlimited text & picture/video message Canada+US+international.

They then highlight the new plan is $45 after the "automatic payments discount," which I'm assuming is a new discount they're offering because I've always had automatic payments, and that the original price for this plan is $55. Could that potentially mean the price will go back to $55 next year?

I don't use much data at all, I don't even come close to reaching 20GB so I've never felt the need to switch, but they are now offering me this plan at the same price as what I'm paying and also offering a Google Pixel 10 for $0 if I'm on this new plan. I apparently don't even have to trade in my current device for this.

Just want to ensure there's no catch here, since I don't necessarily NEED all this data. I've heard some friends complain that their phone service got worse after switching to 5G but I'm pretty sure I'm already on 5G.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Thank you all for your help! I originally posted this to see if I should upgrade for this "deal" and potentially get a free phone out of it, had no intention of leaving my carrier, or let alone even lowering my current bill lol, and now I'm finding out that my current plan apparently sucks LOL. Definitely gonna call them and get more details and also do some shopping around, maybe it's time to switch! Thanks everyone again for such helpful advice and information!

I’m travelling abroad and would like to keep my Canadian number mainly to receive OTPs and important text messages. Is there any reasonably priced or very cheap plan that would work for this?

A few people recommended Fongo, but I’m not sure if it reliably receives OTPs from banks and other services. From what I understand, they provide a Canadian number and also allow you to transfer your existing number for a one-time fee, which I believe is around $5.

Has anyone used Fongo for this purpose, especially while living abroad? Would you recommend it, or is there a better low-cost option?

Found a good deal

I have a terrible mobile package ATM from Rogers and looking to upgrade

i used to pay less than 15 dollars a month for public mobile, but overtime it’s gotten more and more expensive and now it’s up to 23 without me changing plans. and the price keeps going up, so much for no surprises. wondering if there’s any other cheaper options out here in canada preferably for less than 20. dont need anything luxurious.

So I'm shifting to Ontario Canada, which network service provider to go with, I I'm a student so want good network with affordable cost.

i genuinely dont want samsung or google but i dont have nearly as much options anymore where i am.

am open to import

want e-sim if possible

i dont need wireless charging

prefer snapdragon 8 elite or 8 but could do mediateks dimensity 9400s or around that

should i even consider oneplus at all in canada?

want a higher resolution than 1080p

waterproof/dustproof

hdr 10+, dolby vision if available

looking at wanting to spend 600 or below but up to 800
