Is it true that in canada one pays for incoming calls on mobiles? Is it possible to buy a pay asyou go sim card or do we need to buy a mobile phone for that?

In Canada you seem to have to pay for even THINKING about using your cell phone...grrrrrr

Are you having a bad day Amy?

How about we start a thread called 'lets cheer Amy up' perhaps then someone might make you feel better.

yeah but you havent been thinking about answering.....Come On

Red answer = yes you have to pay for incoming calls.

blue answer = yes it is possible to buy sim cards in canada, I believe it's around $60 but you may want to do some research first as you should be able to get a PAYG phone for cheaper.

It would also be much cheaper to attain a contract phone.

P.S. generally the term here is Cell phone if you go into a canadian store and ask for a Mobile you might get this look

LOL does it come across that I am?!! Am just generally mad and can't work out how to sort all this rubbish out!

Thank you for the answers, and thank you for educating me ! I knew this, but here we're on BE. Right?

Why do they charge for incoming calls:curse::curse:

paper or plastic?

If you get a good contract you wont pay nothing but PAYG is just the way it is...

Ho ho.....ho

thank you, so which network would you recommend, ill be in montreal?

I decided not to have a Cell phone as I don't really need one.

If I did need one work would pay

Not at all you sound very happy.

Just remember life without problems is not living

Ok, I undestand you want to keep it a secret!

lol, no I just don't have a cell phone,

In Montreal i'm sure like the other provinces you will have a limited choice of providers typically bell, rogers or shaw...I'm not too sure as I am in manitoba and it does vary. type 'montreal cell phone providers' into google perhaps that will give you some more information than I can?
