wow. i use my phone a lot, especially considering i hardly use my parents landline, and my bill has never been over $50. it's a good thing to know your limitation of what you can and cannot do and when. then you don't end up with huge bills.

yeah.. I've been using fido for about 5 years now.. they have good customer service and I've never really had bad reception problems. and I have tried telus out before which was complete bullshit. GSM is the best band IMO. I switched to the $25 fido2fido plan and since most of my friends have fido.. I can rack up about 800 minutes a month (counting eve&weekend talking) and about 100 text messages / month and I wont go over any of my minutes anymore. Not the best plan for everyone but it sure worked for me.

Awww Kat I know that eh u told me when I called ya Lol. Shitty Deal My biggest bill was ever like $487.65 cents lol that was cuz I was dealin and let absolutly everyone use my phone. Telus r real fuckers with there text msgin I know that I thought I had free before but phhh ya fuckin right get my bill and its like $145 text msgin and like $100 Internet use and shit like thatoh ya then alkl the downloads lol $135 and then I went like 200 mins over my plan shit eh. So I said fuck it and jus didnt pay it then it racked up tolike $1000 literly I have Manda as a witness then they cut my phone for 2 months and I lost all my customers and my contacts its a bitch. Then Good old moma to the rescue hhahaha and now I gots my phone back and since I moved I got like 800 daytime minutes(long distance included) and like Evenings after 6pm-7am and weekends free for a Big Ol Price of $150 a month lots but its worth it. So I know the pain ur goin thru sweetie. Call me in da mornin when u figure out K.

Not to shange the topic too much, but GSM isn't a band, rather a type of cellular service. The band specifications refer to the system used - TDMA - and the actual band - in MHz. GSM is better as a service because it is the international standard, which means that a good cellphone [tri-band usually] can be used everywhere on this planet. The tri-band specification refers to the frequency [in MHz] the cellphone can use, since Europe and Asia use a different band that North America does.

i had an extra 20 bucks charge for text msging last month.. yes 20 dollars is a tiny deal, but think about it.. do i really need to text 340 msgs a month? typing msn styles msgs to ppl on the phone.....and dishing 20 bucks out to that crap...smilies and stuff. worth it? NO.

i guess ill call fido to bump my text up to the 1000 a month..for 10 bucks a month. wtf. im starting to dislike text msging a lot.. gross how i use it so frequently without noticing.

feature costs aren't why your bill is so high. it's your usage. don't assume that everything is all good and continue talking as much as before, because it won't be. cut back on your usage and keep the features, as they give you an alternative to answering the phone each time. caller id is great for screening calls you might not find to be worthy of answering on your cell, as is voicemail. texting, if not excessive and with an appropriate texting plan, will also cut down on your voice usage.

i'd also suggest keeping the long distance plan. i'm not too sure how much it costs you, but you'd likely spend more in a higher per minute LD with out a plan than you would with it. if you don't think that you will, then don't make any LD calls at all. use your landline. in fact, whenever you're at home, USE YOUR LANDLINE. don't forward your calls from your cell either. your provider might charge airtime for that.

btw, good on you for paying up. i work for a wireless provider in the states, and you would not believe how many people will refuse to believe that they're at fault. paying up promptly and taking proactive pretentative measures show that you're far more mature than most of the people i deal with on an average day. just make sure that the measures you're taking are the correct ones.

her biggest problem was her long distance it wasnt because she was irrisponable sp? its cause she thought her long distance bill was diffrent and onher bill it wasnt so now she knows and wont do it again unless she wants another HUGE bill ...

1. Grab the Oxford dictionary and look up 'quotes'. Fit any of the definitions here and see what comes out. Then you can act smart [and don't serve me the crap with 'informal' English - you try harder than just informal]

2. Glad you realized. I simply had no reason to aim higher this one time... Had to make sure it would catch on :P

[Custard]

fido reception is garbage in west van, other then that its all good.

[galaxie]

That sucks!

But if it makes you feel any better, my long-distance bill for March alone is $1200! That doesn't include my cell *eek*
