Ah shoot. I just bought my first iPhone, 6 Plus, on contract with Bell for that $80 you're talking about. I probably can't switch to Koodo without paying a substantial fee. *sigh*

Hi Neena, have you considered Koodo?I only suggest it, because I was a bell customer for about 13 years, and then switch to Koodo; I would never go back to Bell. Koodo's plans are much better then Bell also, and any where a bell phone will work a Koodo phone will work since they both use the same net work.Just to give you an example,I have a gig of data, 1000 any time minutes, unlimited evenings starting at 55, unlimited weekens. Canada wide calling, no long distance. Three way calling, call forwarding, voice mail, unlimited texts unlimited picture messaging and it goes on and on, for $45 a month, the same plan from bell runs about $80.I am running an iPhone 64gb, which I bought outright When the Dam Breaks http://www.thewesternstar.com/Living/2013-06-09/article-3272214/When-the-dam-breaks/1 (The Voices Within, Reflections of A Different Mind.

This means that in order for you to have an accessible phone, you'll need to make the jump to a touch screen smartphone. As such, you have a choice between an unlocked iPhone or an unlocked Android phone. The accessible flip phones that I'm aware of are Samsung produced flip phones which use the CDMA network instead of GSM As far as coverage is concerned, that basically really depends on the cell privider which in this case is Bell Canada. One GB of data is alright as long as you don't do any downloading or streaming and use it very sparingly.

I hadn't heard this answered before, so I hope this is an okay question for the list. I'm planning to get a cell phone from you all and to use it with Bell Canada. I love them so it's not a good idea to switch for me. They, however, are um not endowed with good cell phones that have text to speak. Now, I'm using my Samsung phone which is an I remember it as: sg275R phone. That, as I recall you and I talking on this subject that it is not able to have stuff downloaded to make it accessible. So simply my question is this: If I get a cell phone from you all like next year: will it be able to be used in a rural area? I'm thinking the Northern Ontario. I'm not going to the States with it, because frankly I'm just not travelling there for a good long time. I wanted to be able to use my phone in a place that Bell Canada does indeed cover, as I've found out it does. So, that's why I'm asking. Also now that I'm here, and thinking of it: is one gig of internet enough to check bus schedules, check email, and check things such as the weather? I ask, as Bell offers that as part of my current plan. It's month to month. Thanks so much. -----Original Message----- From: Laz Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 2:43 PM To: tmp Subject: [tmp] 2 More Days: New Bluetooth items, 20% off & other announcements!
