I have an Iphone and I love it. It is my office away from the office. I was with FIDO before. I signed up during the CITY FIDO plan before Fido got bought by Rogers.

I have Unlimited incoming outgoing calls - $45
I have Unlimited Canadian Long distance - $20
I have biggest data plan and I have not gone over - $30
Visual Voice Mail - $15
System Access - $6.95

All in with tax - $134.02

Is it expensive, not really with what I do with it. I am very happy with the unlimited long distance and calls my business involves me being on the road a lot and on the phone a lot. Before I had unlimited I had $800 monthly phone bills when I was busy. I manage a building out in Oshawa so the long distance became a necessity as well. Now I use it to call my parents and customers that are far away.

Due to the email access I have now set up an email for tenant complaints. This makes it much easier for me to track.

All in all as cheap as I am this is one phone and service I think is good value for me.

I don't have one either, but then I am in my RV parked on a beautiful beach in Baja, Mexico! Arrived yesterday after the 4,000 km drive. here until early March. RV fee 100 pesos or about $8.00CDN @ day. Huevos Rancheros for breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee for $5.00CDN.
Life is good!
Free wifi on the beach at the moment, does that count?
Who cares if your phone is smart when you are living the life of riley :p

Yep you sure got it. As property manager on call I'm supposed to be married to my phone. I have to admit i am very forgetful with my phone at times. Like sometimes I forget it where I can't hear it. I'm not that essential really.

If there's a fire call the fire dept
If there's a burglar call the police
If someone's sick call the ambulance
If someone's dead it's not an emergency either death is permanent and I will be notified when I pick up my messages

My phone rings a lot so not answering the phone is an essential skill at times. It is essential to shut it off at times.

:cool: I'm so jealous of you being on the beach, SO jealous :cool:

I pay more than that for my iphone and even for a cheapo like me it's a great deal because it is a mobile office.

I have chosen to have unlimited everything but I would rather have a fixed cost than pay the crazy rates cell phone companies charge when you go over your limit or god forbid you call long distance. I manage a property out in Oshawa and just calling people when I was there was costing me a fortune.
