fuck cellphones!

Okay, so last week, I went around to three cell phones places in Miramichi: Aliant, Telus, and Rogers. On this trip I learned that if you get a phone from one company, you "can't use it" with another company's plan. I've got an Aliant phone right now that I got for free with a three-year contract in the Spring. But then, because I was going away

Haha I love this. I wrote you back on yours. :) Thanks for all that work! I understand much better now.

When I was still in Canada, I had a Virgin Mobile phone, that--with no contract--gave me a pretty decent plan for $30/month, no (significant) strings attached.

Now that I'm in the US, I'm with T-mobile: I got a free RAZR with my two year contract, and I pay $29.99 (no extra fees except the 81cent Texas 911 fee, and tax [7%]) and I have 300 anytime minutes, free calling after 7pm, no roaming anywhere in the US, and unlimited calls to the top five numbers I call the most! I couldn't believe the difference between the price difference between Canada and the US.

However, I will say this: I didn't have a cell phone when I was down here last year, and it was a gigantic pain in the ass to have to find payphones, because there simply aren't that many of them around any more.
