Vintersorg posted:This Rogers waitlist thing is such a farce, not sure how any of it works. No weekly e-mails at all. Right now it's been showing in progress for about 3 days straight with no tracking number sent. It's all a big mystery as to when I will get my iPhone 5. The nice thing is that I am getting a $50 credit but the wait is now killing me. If the system is similar to Fido's last winter when I got a 4S, you won't hear anything until you get a phone call from the local shop you selected for pick up

Mahler posted:I've been with Virgin Mobile for a while now. Renewed my contract about a year ago but kept the old phone (Samsung Vice) because hey, it still worked. However, now it's starting to crap out. I still have the opportunity to switch to a new phone, and I was wondering what the 2012 equivalent to the Samsung Vice is, in terms of durability/reliability. I only use my phone for texting and the occasional call. Don't really want any bells or whistles. The Gravity Touch looks like it has QWERTY

I was on month to month in anticipation for the iPhone 3G's successor, and they wouldn't even sell me a 3GS when it came out as I was an "existing customer". Fido has improved things and have a reservation system now, I was able to get an iphone 4S fairly early from them in late 2011 as an existing customer

Have her check Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Usage There was something wonky with one of the early iOS 6 versions and push email that caused a bunch of data usage IIRC Rogers should reduce the bill if she finds the problem and fixes her phone

From what I understand: iPhone 4 was originally GSM and then had a separate CDMA model introduced later iPhone 4S was universal iPhone 5 had 3 different versions for the different LTE bands quote:Unlike the iPhone 4S, which was the only "world phone" produced by Apple, there are three versions of the iPhone 5, which differ by the frequency used. I don't know what this means for the 5C/5S but when you pick up one at the apple store they'll be able to confirm it works with your carrier. There shouldn't be any problem with Rogers because they have carried iPhones basically since the beginning

ExcessBLarg! posted:So I'm an American traveling to Winnipeg for a few days in two weeks. For voice/SMS I'm just going to roam with my phone as the rates aren't dreadful, however data roaming is $2/MB and CDMA only for myself. I'm in Winnipeg, I use Fido. It is a Rogers sub-brand that has better customer service. They seem to sell sim cards here: http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/SmartCard They don't seem to have a straightforward way to do pre-paid data. These "data passes" require a voice-only plan: http://www.fido.ca/web/content/datacatalogue/data_passes

eXXon posted:Guys, it's called inflation. Bits and bytes are getting bigger every year. Wavelengths aren't getting any cheaper either. Just be thankful to our government's hard work at promoting cellular competition, otherwise rates might be going up even higher. How much bigger can the bits even get before they don't fit in the wavelengths any more? It's going to be a real problem when we reach peak data

With MTS getting sold we are hosed as consumers. Every national carrier has special "manitoba plans" specifically to compete with MTS, all that will end. Pretty big coincidence that this is announced almost immediately following the election of a conservative provincial government.

(He's in a cage for security since he's got access to be able to change people's phone billings). Is that why my new phone had one contact named "help I am being held in a giant cage"?

With MTS being bought out by Bell, are there any decent deals from Bell subsidiaries that would use MTS's entire network now? Looks like virgin mobile has $48 for 5GB. Oh god it might charge for texting tho. I'm on a Fido Manitoba plan so I might be sitting pretty.

I ordered a sim card for koodo for $0 and chose a plan, and filled out a credit application. So the sim card showed up and I went to register in their self-serve thing. It asks for a customer number and I don't have that anywhere, I tried a couple different numbers. Now I seem to be locked out with "waiting to verify email address".  I think I will have to call them to get this sorted out

James Baud posted:So apparently all Koodo customers who got the 10 gigs for $14 offer can (jump through minor hoops - see thread summary under OP - and) change their plans to a $25 unlimited Canada-wide voice/text/0-data plan and then accept the offer, yielding unlimited calls and 10GB data for 39/mo. It describes a method you could do without talking to an agent to throw a refurb phone in the cart and switch to the $25 tab small plan, but 1) there are no refurb phones that give you money back any more from what I can see 2) the lowest tab small plan I can see is $35 rather than $25 So it seems like this may have run its course already

Not that I'd ever suggest doing this but if you have a person of the correct gender call in with all the correct identifying information, then what would stop them from porting out the number, security questions?
