Cell Phones in Alberta
 
Easy one really guys!

What company do you recommend for cell phones? We ideally want a family plan (2 phones on one plan) for as little money as poss - they'll be for emergencys etc

At the moment we are paying as we go with Rogers Wireless, we keep forgetting to put money in and the credit runs out every 30 days, we only have one phone and the cheapest way is $10 per month, if we get 2 phones - well it's probably better to get a plan. Primustel.ca do 2 free phones for $30 250 anytime mins but the coverage looks a bit sparse any ideas?

Thanks all - owe you a :beer:

Virgin Mobile Pay-as-you-go. Minimum $15 good for 90 days not 30.

You can renew online or you can set it to auto-renew when it reaches a set amount apparently as low as $5 that is of course if it gets to $5.

If you use them for emergencies only it may never reach $5 thus not auto renew, but you could still renew online yourself.

Cheers
Steve

We have 7-11 phones. They are good for emergencies, .... not all that cheap for air-time, but the minutes you pay for do not run out... or they last a year or something.
