Unlimited Long Distance within Canada (anytime)
100 Outgoing Text Messages
Unlimited Incoming Texts

20 Picture Messages
Full Message Centre (25 messages, longer retention)
Message Centre Fax (Which doubles as a direct-to-voicemail number, as I have two 416 numbers)

Can a CSR confirm whether these two features are even available and at what cost or is this bogus?

1.Unlimited Incoming Calls Anywhere within Canada (not just local)
2.Unlimited Long Distance within Canada (anytime)

Cheers

#2 is for sure..it's on my personal line...but mine is $15/Unlim. North American Long Distance [Doesn't include roaming]

[Jivs]

i called in hoping to get a good deal, but all they offered me (after being a level 5) was 20% off of any plan. Is that a good deal? do you think i can get anything more...maybe free text messaging?
they have that new student 50 which comes with blackberry data, it's not a bad deal...but with globalive i'm don't thin it's a good idea to sign a contract.
what do you guys think i should do?

[Billbeastie]

My plan:

100+100 day time
Fab 5 (national)
1000 evening and weekend @ 6
1000 incoming
Caller id
Express center
35$/mo + saf + tx

I think it's good...

[qbellrep]

just take the plan that suits your needs

[I'mHomeless]

Mine is kinda of a mish-mash of a plan. Started as a plan I got while a student at UWO.

$25/month gets me...

200 daytime minutes
E/W's starting at 8
Touchbase
CID
3 way calling
call waiting
call forwarding
SAF included
Detail paper billing

I have a $5 credit applied for having sympatico, so the rate drops to $20. Later I added unlimited mobile browser for $5 (now $7) when I got my touch and the messaging budle for $5 for 500 texts and 50 pic messages.

When all is said and done it's usually about $35/month...
