Wind and Mobilicity is good for those who spend most of their time in the city. I am on mobilicity and pay $25 per month ($26.25 with GST) for unlimited data, unlimited local calling, unlimited txt and caller id. It works for me because I am always in the city, and when I am out of the city, if I need to use the phone, I can and it will cost me some cents per minute, but saving of over ~35 bucks a month from the best deal from most other carriers, I can pay the 15c per minute to make a phone call if I need to, but I am cheap so I usually just don't answer if I am out of town, which happens like 2-3 times a year at most.
If you are in another home zone for any of these providers, than you are back to your unlimited deals in that home zone.
Reception is spotty in some places, but for the most part works just fine at my house, my train commute and work. Work is spotty, I don't get reception when closer to the core of the building, so might try Wind as I tried it recently with someone else's SIM and had reception throughout the whole building. My friend was on WIND and had no reception in my old workplace...switched to mobilicity instead and got good reception, I may have to do the opposite now that I got a new job.
Thank you. Very helpful.
