@Minion-Queen Rogers, Bell, Telus
There are some other ones but I sincerely doubt you'll ever go to Saskatchewan (directly above Montana / North Dakota)

yeah I know.. But looking at their pricing, 3 phones on T-Mobile is $140/month, my current ATT is $145 with 15 GB of data, something we never get close to. But this is before the $25/month discount I get with ATT, making my pretax bill $120, saving me $20/month.
The secret with T-Mobile is getting as many as people as you can onto your plan. We are a family of three lines right now and will be adding the fourth for Luciana in a couple years at most. Adding parents, cousins, roommates, etc. drops the per line price like crazy.

One thing that is a big deal with T-Mobile, they have local stores everywhere. I mean all over the world. You get off the train in Bucharest, T-Mobile is at the end of the platform before you even get coffee. For traveling that's a big deal. With Google, if your phone dies while abroad, what do you do?
For 90% of the people the fact that it works outside of the US doesn't matter. This is why I have a Tmobile phone because I do travel to Canada often enough to make it worth it and of course my one trip to the UK a couple years ago.
Because Canada and Mexico are 100% included as non-foreign, it affects more than you'd think.

Rogers is probably it then.

They must have a roaming agreement with someone, I can't recall seeing them anywhere!
I think that they are local. In most countries they are known as T or any number of other brands. Looks for someone with pink as their corporate colour.

Virgin?
Rogers Bell and Telus are the only ones that own towers in Canada (with exceptions)

Canada might be the one country without a local T brand. Canada is the wasteland of business, if there is one country that international companies want to avoid, it's Canada.

I think it's more like
"Why would we setup an office in that frozen wasteland when we can just use the American office and make the northerners pay more"

Actually, now that we are talking about it, I'm pretty sure that I talked to people in Canada about how brilliant T-Mobile was and it turns out that you can't even get service there. Canadians have to have a US friend with a US address get the phone in the US and ship it to them in Canada. So it isn't that they charge more, but that they just avoid it. Then AT&T (Rogers) charges more as there isn't any competition.

I so wish I could be a T-mobile customer. We just do not have good enough coverage. I would be off line so much if I moved to them. I spend way too much time in rural areas that they just don't' cover.
I am constantly checking other providers. 200 a month is killing me for phones.
Just have to be able to live on the Sprint or T-Mobile network. Paying full price for the phone is the only real painful thing, but it's also part of how my bill is so tiny.

Yeah. Neither of those networks gets great coverage in this area.

Wow with that I would be paying more than I do through Verzion but we have about 15K in text messages, 30 gigs of Data some months and about 6000 minutes calls a month.
Keep in mind that we use this as our backup internet connection when it goes out (which is more often than it should). And I use follow me or Zoiper for our phone system to my phone etc. so we do a TON of data. Also I use one of the phones for GroveSocial so there is lots of minutes used there. Text messages I have deaf siblings and this is how the whole family communicates with each other.

Yeah, got to watch that. I remember you mentioning how crazy your usage is. Figured that usage chart needed to be included for some odd reason.

You're paying less than $70 a month (for one phone, $40 for 4) for unlimited on Verizon?

No with that plan above I would be paying FAR more than I do through Verzion. Sorry didn't mean to confuse

Ooh ok. I was going to say, that's pretty amazing with Verizon.

Saw an ad last night for T-Mobile, $40/month taxes and fees included. This changes things HUGE! This could easily knock more than 15% off my bill.
