Hey hunter001 and thanks. Can you give me the details as to the total pricing, cost per minute(?), and where to buy etc??? Thanks again.
I walked into a Rogers store with a phone I already have and asked what the cost was to set up a pay as you go plan?
The sales guy said it would cost $25 + tax for the sim card and whatever pay card I was going with.
That was it.

I have used Telus for a while and am quite pleased with them.
They have many options available for the pay as you go such as unlimited incoming for 30 bucks a month....unlimited early nights and weekends for 30 bucks which starts at 6 pm....
Also, on my birthday Saturday, I was allowed to make unlimited incoming and outgoing calls all day.
The phone cost me 70 bucks and there were no hidden costs and loading it was easy online.

I pay 33 cents a minute for my Rogers pay as you go phone. The best thing around Rogers is that they use GSM technology. If you want to change cell phone, just buy an unlocked cell phone from Craigslist or Ebay and swap in your sim card.PurpleMonkey said:
Do you travel to the United States? My Rogers cell phone works in the United States while my friend's Virgin phone did not work. Virgin phones use CDMA technology which is not compatible in the U.S. But I was paying $2.49 a minute in the states to make a call.
The best place to buy a Rogers pay as you go phone was 7-11. Last year, they were selling an unlocked Nokia cell phone for only $100.00 with $100.00 airtime. Not too sure if the phone is still available.
I have a virgin phone. It works well and there was no hassle, no hidden fees. The easiest hobbying phone to buy--got mine at Zellers--and the cost is reasonable.
But it doesn't work, as speed ball explained, in cities with no virgin coverage. It works in Ottawa and Calgary but not Thunder Bay or Minneapolis, for example.
For me it's a good buy, because i don't go to the states often.

I use Rogers here. 25 cents a minute for the first 5 minutes in the day and then 15 cents a minute rest of the day. If you charge $100 the minutes are good for a year. My initial sim was bought on eBay couple of years ago when someone was selling sim with $100 worth of minutes for like 20-30 bucks. Great with unlocked GSM phones.
Virgin Mobile is running over the Bell Mobility network. Where a Bell mobility cell works a Virgin phone will work.preciate it said:
