    It's too bad back then they allowed Rogers and Fido to merge. sheesh, now fido is almost just as rip off and not even worth your time.

    Good for you T-mobile. Dodged another bullet.

    Yup.. AT&T.. but remember, even with Verizon, you're paying pretty much the same price for using the iPhone. T-Mobile is the cheapest 2 year carrier but doesn't work with iPhone. Only EDGE speed. As a rumor, they might get the iPhone 5 this time but I'm pretty sure the price on the plans will start going up. I do want to switch to T-Mobile right now because of the Samsung Galaxy II.

    Service provider also depends on where you are though... Like I heard T-Mobile sucks in small towns... AT&T has more coverage than T-Mobile at this moment.. but whatever.. they're slowly changing/adapting.

    lmao who cares about data plan speeds when you got wifi... the whole point of data plans is the make the phone look cheaper but letting you purchase the phone for almost an non existing price and then raping your ass through the data plan lmaooo... 200mb a month for 10 bucks is bs.
     
  16. whatever....... just means prices will stay competitive....

    wi-fi isn't available everywhere. I usually use at least 600mb per month on 3G.. You can buy the phone for higher price.. but if you get a smartphone, either way you'll be paying for data unless the carrier can't detect the phone.

    I laugh because you guys are all over data. But if you lived in a canadian major city you could use Wind/Mobilicity and get unlimited data for $10/month.

    ^^^Lucky... AT&T = $15 for 200 mb or $25 for 2gb.. The best deal is Virgin Mobile which is $35 for 300 minutes, unlimited text and data.
