      I pay about 5 euros per month in eastern Europe. That's about $7.5 CAD per month. Unlimited talk, text and 100Gbs of data.

    I know there are a lot of discounts for family plans and military folks in the US, but I have never thought of trying to negotiate plan prices. I wonder if that is a thing here

      sounds like it might not even be needed to negotiate prices if the price in the states are reasonable lol

    I pay $25 a month for unlimited calls and text with 1gb, and for my wife's plan $30 a month for 15 gb. We can transfer data to eachother and unused data is available the next month. Internet plan at home is $43 a month unlimited at 100mbps.

    I just switched providers after years with Virgin, irony is I went with Bell (Virgin's parent company) Didn't save much even with BYOP, but I gained other benefits which made it a practical move. On the flip side, I previously travelled in Europe and unforeseen circumstances meant I had to extend my stay far longer than envisioned. Consequently, I had to put my phone number in dormancy for a monthly fee to retain until I returned. In Europe I went with a monthly top up which was much cheaper than the dormancy fee I was paying (conversion included). The top up included unlimited minutes, North America and Europe unlimited calling and text - attachments. It cost me more to retain my number in absence than it did to pay for service far superior whilst travelling. Providers try to justify this by saying that the cost of infrastructure to provide service over larger coverage area's than in Europe are their greatest cost.

    I usually set aside money to buy a new phone outright, so I don’t have to get a contract for a new phone with one of the carriers. I go for BYOP phones, I currently pay $29 with 20gb (I’m with Virgin). In my experience, the benefit of living in Ottawa is having access to Quebec plans. When I go to a store to switch providers, they offer Quebec plans, which are $5 to $10 cheaper for the same amount of data

    Yeah, honestly, the prices are ridiculous. How would you go about finding a plan with the purchase of a new phone? For example I would like to upgrade my phone because the camera doesn't function that well anymore and the screen is cracked.
    But I can not settle myself to pay for soo much.
    Haha, literally with the wasting time stuff I always commute or do errands while I'm "waiting"

    • @FrankHuynh
      @FrankHuynh  10 місяців тому +1

    It’s a lack of competition, USA has over 100 telcos , we here have 10-16 , we’ve tried in 2013 to bring in US carriers here, but the regulations are to protect the big three .
