Bell

The horrible state of mobile communications in Canada

Something really cool fell into my lap on Friday. After dealing with a lame old phone that couldn't hold a charge for more than seven minutes of talking, I was able to replace it with a lovely HTC Touch, already upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1. It's truly a lovely phone, and using it is ever so enjoyable.

I wish I could say the same about my service provider, Telus, but I can't.

Thanks, Bell and Telus, as if your services weren't already overpriced...

According to Sault Ste. Marie News, Bell and Telus have a new plan in mind for text messaging. Are you a Bell Mobility or Telus Mobility client? Well, expect to start paying for incoming text messages, even if they're completely unsolicited. The charges gouging begins on August 8, and both providers are looking at a 15 cent charge — the same customers face for sending a message.
