I have been a long time SaskTel customer since Motorola came out with those massive flip phones back in the mid 90s. I used SaskTel because of the coverage between here and Spiritwood which when you are driving that road 100 times a year you want good coverage.
After I quit Spiritwood, I didn’t have the need for a cell phone nearly as much as I used to and eventually I realized I was paying for a cell phone that I went months without using. Finally we went to pay as you go cell phones. A $25 top up would out last the three months it was good for. In the end I was using about $7 of cell phone a month.
I am too old to text message, I don’t watch video on my phone, and I don’t need a smart phone.
We haven’t done that much traveling out of province the last couple of years by car and since we plan to travel to Edmonton over Easter break and then Calgary later this summer, I started to wonder if I need a cell phone that will work out of province. I would prefer to stay prepaid if I could but if you have any thoughts on Rogers vs. Fido vs. Virgin vs. Bell, let me know in the comments.
