Comments on: Apparently, “Canadians pay lowest wireless prices in North America” http://pe.ma/2007/09/aparently-canadians-pay-lowest-wireless-prices-in-north-america/ Pema Hegan's collection of news and ideas too long for a tweet Tue, 05 Apr 2011 06:41:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pema http://pe.ma/2007/09/aparently-canadians-pay-lowest-wireless-prices-in-north-america/comment-page-1/#comment-108 Pema Tue, 25 Sep 2007 13:17:35 +0000 http://pema.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/aparently-canadians-pay-lowest-wireless-prices-in-north-america/#comment-108 That's insane Sameer! I heard a similar story about AT&T (about calling plans though, not data). Apparently there is a North American contract that gives people roaming in Canada cheaper per minute calling than most heavy calling plans sold by Rogers, Bell and Telus. But you're right, it's the data prices that kill me. Each month I check a few emails and look up a couple of addresses on Google Maps and my 10MB data contract is all gone. At $30 per additional MB of data I'm hardly keen to go over my limit. That’s insane Sameer!

I was talking to a friend of mine that works at O2 in London, and based on what the predicted costs are going to be, it would end up being cheaper for me to get an O2 data contract from the UK and use it here in Canada (roaming charges and all) than get a Rogers data contract. Ridiculous. What a joke!
