Where is the included DATA? Sounds like a shitty plan -it doesn't even include anything for email and web use..

no, it does not include web usage or emails, but does allow for BBM, MSN ect.

some big benefits to the plan are evenings and weekends at 6pm, 200 mins for daytime, unlimited local and long distance calling to 10 numbers and unlimited SMS, all for $35 a month. pretty sweet deal.

For data you have to move up to the 'student smartphone plan', same plan IIRC - except 500mb data for an extra $15/month (so $50/month total).

Isn't it unlimited local and long distance calling to FIVE numbers only?

It's a decent plan if you are in to facebooking etc off of your phone .. otherwise not that great .... that 35 turns in to 50 very easily once you include all the taxes and charges ... not to forget adding voice mail or call display.

I got the old $50 Student smartphone plan before it got discontinued...pretty much the same plan except unlimited data, and the 10 long distance number thing.

This plan is pretty good, aside from the lack of included web/email usage. Just remember where they make the $$$ is by charging you $12 for caller ID and voicemail..I've got that addon too.

EDIT: I find Telus coverage and customer service is really good...I know people on Rogers and they hate it. I can't speak for Bell, but several years ago I had a Bell prepaid phone, and I didn't really like them.
