The advertising for cost is so deceptive:
Great Plans Starting at $25/month
… means get ready to pay $60+ / month for an average users.
I have a minimal plan like that with FIDO and yet often get bills of over $100 / month.
In addition to fees, taxes, extra minutes, and long distance charges, I get charged $.95 / minute “roaming” in the USA.
That’s added for both incoming and outgoing calls. (Remind me not to pick up your phone call when I’m in the USA.)
I’ve been trying to resist the urge to buy an iPhone. Ian just got one. Loves it. His first monthly bill was only $80 … quite reasonable.
But I’m bound to want to move on before the 3yr service contract expires with FIDO. What would I do then?
