Default Anyone using PetroCanada for their mobile?

To be honest I'm already getting a tad bored of paying Bell $60+tax a month for a cell phone and where I live Wind doesn't really have service.

Saw a few people on other sites talking about using the above for their phone and when I saw the prices I could understand why.

http://mobility.petro-canada.ca/en/features/396.aspx is their pricing list. And given their coverage is "nationwide" they're clearly piggy backing on one of the bigger boys anyway.

So is anyone actually using them? 100 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited web browsing for $28 compared to 200 minutes, texts and 6GB data from Bell for $60 suggests only one winner. Or am I missing something?

Didn't know they did this tbh. Will definitely consider them in October when my 3 year Rogers plan is finally up!

Must be worth a punt, particularly as it's contract free?

This looks really good...we currently pay stupid money to Virgin mob! The only disadvantage I can see with Petro-Canada's plan/s is they don't appear to have unlimited international texting, which is what I use mostly. Shame that, because all I actually can do with my current phone is text and make localish calls. Which is....pants.

Just cut the ****ers down.

Plus, if you are going to anything nefarious, I'd suggest getting some 'lads' to get them for you. Plus, don't keep the for more than a week. Otherwise we can trace them.
