Phone contracts
I'm looking at different phone companies and contracts in Nova Scotia and someone recommended Telus, I was just wondering if anyone would recommend anyone else or if they're a good company to go with?
That and, why does it say I would have to pay for incoming calls.....?

Re: Phone contracts
How much is the charge for an incoming call, do you know?
It's insane that they'd charge you to receive a call...

Re: Phone contracts
As far as I know the charge for incoming is the same as the charge for making a call. It's just the way it is over here. Swings and roundabouts as to where the costs of living are going to hit you!

Re: Phone contracts
So receiving a call uses my minutes that I get each month? That's ok then, and insurance hopefully will be ok.. I'm only 17 haha

Re: Phone contracts
Just got back some quotes on car insurance - $4k seems to be the average - although I can get that down on some, and have not yet started bartering - on a new car ... I have a clean UK license for the past 17 years ... so good luck if you think you can get that anywhere near UK prices!

Re: Phone contracts
The way the BC system works is that everybody starts on the same basic scale. You get discounts for at-fault claim free years, and pay premiums if you have at-fault claims. There is no loading for age, or anything else.
I remember from the UK of teenagers paying over £2,000 to drive a 1.0L car worth £1,000. They would find insurance in BC good value. For the rest of us ...
