yikes !!!!
Mind you cell phones are expensive. I love the way our $35 a month package costs $80 once you have taken into account taxes , system access fee, etc.

I love that too.. my Fido package costs me $85 a month... seems like a lot to me, but it's CityFido (not available anymore) and apparently they can't ever increase it's price.... so in about 10 years it will be excellent value for money

Re: Cell phones are expensive
I did and use the roamer (Cable & Wireless Guernsey), although it is expensive to make and receive calls £1.00 a minute . I only use it now if someone calls me, and then I cut them off pretty quicky .... The other option is get a Rogers Pay as you go sim and put that in. I have a Motorola V3i that I bought with me and it works great.

Another con. Don't beleive them if they tell you all suppliers charge it, Virgin Mobile do not.

He readily admits he did this and used the facility to download high def movies to his computer.
It shouldn't just be up to the company to protect the dumbass from himself?
