I'll move my post about Chatr and how Rogers owns them and you should never ever sign up with them over to this thread! Chatr was set up by Rogers as an immediate response to WIND and Mobilicity, trying to capitalize on the "unanticipated" welcome by Canadian consumers to new wireless competitors. Also, they were hoping nobody really looked into Chatr's ownership, so that people might sign up with them without knowing they were wholly operated by one of the Big Three. Their ads pimped their "reliability" until they were Huh, looks like Wikipedia has a really good summary of why they suck! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatr quote:Their "chatr zone" coverage is artificially limited to match the coverage of Wind Mobile, Public Mobile and Mobilicity, and so using a Chatr phone outside of these zones results in additional charges. quote:Controversy:

Oh, and this is the point where we once again observe that Caller ID is an intrinsic part of a cellular signal, and it actually costs more for cellular companies to strip it out. (Not a whole lot more, mind you, but still.)

Xanthine posted:Wow, I just got a text from Telus informing me they're going to start charging me 40 cents a text to the US now. Do I have any grounds to complain to them they're breaking the contract I signed or will they just tell me to get lost? They'll probably let you out of your contract early! ...but that means that evry other carrier (except the new guys) are about to implement the same charge. So where will you go, Xanthine? Where will you go?

They made sure that one of the cities sampled was Regina in order to get SaskTel numbers in there, thus making the average look ever-so-slightly more reasonable.

Telus is already freaking out and starting to lobby against Verizon joining the Canadian market: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6911/125/ quote:Yesterday, Telus CEO Darren Entwistle was campaigning at the Globe and Mail and National Post, warning of a "bloodbath" if the government sticks with its commitment to allow for a set-aside of spectrum for new entrants such as Verizon. Telus is concerned that a set-aside would allow Verizon to purchase two of the four available blocks, leaving the big three to fight it out over the remaining two blocks. Telus emphasized its prior investments in arguing for a "level playing field" in the auction.

thexerox123 posted:Good god, I hate that painting. I remember going to the National Gallery at like 8 years old, being told how much that painting was purchased for, and even then thinking it was an absurd travesty. (Along with the exhibit that was there that was just a bungee cord stretched across a room.) Oh god let's please not have the "what is art" debate in this thread. I've lost good people to that debate. Good people. In other news I have a buddy who works for the Rogers call center, and he's bought the company line on everything. It's scary how much corporate dronespeak he's picked up, particularly on the "Canada needs higher prices" and "Verizon would have torn this country apart and the federal government was going to let them" fronts.

OilSlick posted:The type of phone will affect the amount of the deposit. If it's an iPhone or something similarly priced expect up to $400. If you get a mid range one, perhaps $100-200. An entry level smartphone (<$200) there may be no deposit at all.

Ashley Madison posted:I have a weird problem with a few phones. Two guys have Blackberry 9900s on Bell and none of their web services work. No browser, no facebook, no twitter, etc. BES email and BBM des work, so there's some data moving. No BES policies in place that block anything. Entirely possible. Call up Bell Business Support and ask if the phones have been provisioned for web services.

My wife is thinking of switching over to Wind; she's currently using a dumbphone with Telus, off contract. Anyone have any experience with the Wind signal here in Ottawa? Coverage maps are one thing, but I could use some anecdotes! Also, what are the chances Vidéotron gobbles them up in the next year or so?

Canadian mobile prices higher than peers, report saysquote:...when compared with mobile pricing plans in other countries, Canada’s international ranking worsened slightly, the study found. Which of the Big Three will make excuses for the industry first? "Oh, it's because Canada is so big! Infrastructure is expensive! We needed more blood for the blood god!"
