I am moving to Canada shortly and I would like to know who has the best deal going right now for cell service. I looked online and the options and billing are completely different than the USA. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks alot

It's kind of socialist up there, you don't have much choice.
depent where you live & work, what province, around town, in the country, contract or prepaid. I know what is available in Quebec, but don't know much in the other province of the country. need more input.

your best bet is to ask people when you get there what works in your area or you may end up on the network that ISNT in your area.

oh and in this area where I live if you mention rogers to people they about beat you up. but I have not had any experience with them but the whole thing about bad experience you tell way more people than a good experience with a company.

I would have preferred rogers(gsm network=way more phone models) but bell and telus just launched hspa (use the newer part of gsm network) so that should open up more phones as far as choice.

MTS (Manitoba) has the best data plan hands down. i pay 45 bucks a month and get unlimited data use?
