Ok SO i been on Pay and talk for the longest time now, And yes i do like it :P

BUT now no unlimited incoming WTF! but i could ad it for more money of corse .
So really out of all these plans to get what i want unlimited incoming , nights and weekends ar 6pm , and unlimited text messaging and have 150 day time mins costs me something like 74 bucks . even if i have unlimited incoming its only for locals so if you call me form bc ! they charge you long dist and they charge me air time so they milk the cow form both ends !

Yet with my pay and talk this is what i get for 60bucks.

1. I get free v mail ,call waiting, and caller id cause i have had P&T so long .
2. I buy the pay and talk 40 feature for the cost of 40 bucks . unlimited in coming calling from everyone including long dist numbers, unlimited evenings and weekends at 6pm . Plus SPARK 10 Bundle†† witch give you this stuff some i get for free already.

Call Display (free all ready )

Voice Mail 3 (Voice Mail 10 if purchased on Pay & Talk) so i go from the 3 free v mail spots to 10 spots now

100 text, picture or video messages*( i get this now . )

Unlimited Web browsing to over 100 selected sites ( I get this now as well . )

now because i buy a 50 dollar P&T card i have 10 bucks left over witch give me 40 day time mins at 25cents a min just like the plans.

3. i spend another 10 bucks and i get unlimited text messaging.

So really unless i use a huge amount of day time mins who are they kidding . not one plan they talked to me about can offer me what i have or let alone match it !

The only Reason the plans have alot more day time mins is either you don't get unlimited in coming for every one or you only get it to 5 peeps or you evening and weekends start later hence you need more day time mins .

i just think its odd how good my set up works and how crappy a plan seems to scam you for you money .

I am done now haha

:blue:

ehos
They always retire good plans. Once you find one you like, always keep renewing it. As soon as you don't (and it's retired) you can't re-up for it.

There are some amazing plans out there that are retired. (They offer them as teasers, and assume people will switch away soon enough.. which they do..)

Haha i work for telus.
Those plans they offered you i offer to people everyday at my work, those are normal plans.Nice to see they're just trying to fuck you by taking you away from the sweet deals you are getting through pay and talk.

Id stick with the pay and talk:thumbup:
