Hye,
A very simple question...which is the cheapest place to buy a mobile phone in Toronto/GTA and what would the price of the cheapest model be? I would like to buy it from a store and not online. Also does anybody have any experience of the cheapest/best mobile connection deal?
Thanks in advance.

As my wife will tell you, I am a cheap bugger . I've got Rogers AT&T "Pay as you Go"

IIRC phone was about $150, but as I dont use the phone a lot, I pay $25 every 2 months for the service, so it works out cheaper than Free phone plans that cost about $25 per month minimum. Radio Shack stores sell them. Bell also offer a similar service, but at the time rogers threw in voice mail and text messaging and a nicer ericsson phone.

How many cents a minutes do you pay iaink? I have a pay as you go Fido phone.

Fido coverage out here is very patchy, so its kind of a moot point for me. I think its 33c per min local, plus an extra 25c for long distance. Fido coverage within TO is pretty good, but once you head east of Coburg there is none.

Rates etc are here.

Yes, Fido basically seems just to have coverage for the major communities. Although at one RV park west of Victoria, I could use my Fido phone when the manager swore that Telus phones would not work.
