This is tempting. Have no issues with Fido. Currently have two contracts that ends in November. We got IPhone 8s last time and have a bit of a balance.

Zoomer is the same Rogers/Fido network
Also after you use my referral once you can use yourself to refer the SO instead of doubling my credits.

Telus is offering 20gigs for $85 BYOD right now (plus the usual phone stuff)

Are family plans still a thing? Our contract with Bell is almost up and I did a quick search I do not see any more family plans with the big 3 providers.

I think your data is generally shareable on Telus unless you are on a peace of mind plan ( the pseudo unlimited data plans ).

I wouldn't be surprised if they did get rid of them.
With family plans you end up paying more for less. Example: $150 for 5gb of shared data for 3 people where you could easily get the same 5gb of data for each person for $40 based on a quick browse of this thread.

What is the specific benefit you are looking for / getting from a family plan now vs individual plans?

[ExtraSlow]

If you have no aversion to saving money, you can do better than a family plan from the big three with individual plans from Public Mobile. No sharing with them, but then again, sharing is overrated.

That just it, I wanted to see if there was any benefit with going to a family plan, doesn’t seem like it.

I need to re-up my business phone here and it seems like the Peace of Mind plans with Telus seems to be the way to go if I don't switch providers. I currently have 12GB/mth and frequently hit around 10GB but its not uncommon to encroach or surpass my limit if I'm in the field or streaming in my truck lots. For us simpletons, how throttled do they get once you go over your "high speed allotment" in terms of being able to stream a song on iTunes, listen to a podcast, or browse the grams? I'm thinking of going with a 20GB plan but my pseudo unemployed ass might go help out my buddy during harvest and sitting in a combine all day will take its toll on data.

If you like the idea of zero overage ever, then public Mobile might be for you.

$35/mo 2gb plus unlimited talk and text. Use the link in my Sig, or don't.

Thanks for the help boys!

How do you like the public mobile?

[ExtraSlow]

I love it. Telus network, zero overages. Thread on this topic here: https://forums.beyond.ca/threads/411...=Public+Mobile

[The_Rural_Juror]

Public Mobile is the way to go for daughters. The 3G data is so slow, there is no way she will be snapchatting inappropriate stuff.

[ExtraSlow]

Public Mobile has a flash sale on today for a free month. I think the 5gb for $40 plan is the sweet spot for value.

As always, the link in my sig gets me referral bonuses of $1/mo.

[ExtraSlow]

$30 for 2gb weekend sale.

[2020]

If anyone is looking to switch cell phone providers Fido, Koodo and virgin are all offering a $50 byod plan with 9gb unlimited calling/text this weekend.
