Can I share Telus SIM card between phone and Android tablet ?

[lifeisfun]

I have Telus HSPA phone with 1GB data a month.
Is there way to use and share this between 2 devices ?
Ideally to have 2 SIM cards assigned to one plan ?

Thanks

I think the tablet share plan is gone now, but if you have/get a recent Android you can use the personal WiFi hotspot feature. Possibly coming soon to iPhones as well.

Yeah, I do that now, but I like to make it easy for my wife...
So there was a plane where they offered 2 SIM cards on one account ?

Thanks

Not quite, 2 SIMs, 2 numbers, but the tablet's was only $15/mo and just drew its data from the associated phone's bucket. IMO personal WiFi hotspot is better in all respects except battery performance and ease of use (by a small margin).

Ya that plan was a rip off, hopefully the'll come out with something better.

Does any provider in Ontario have pay as you go data plan that's reasonable ?
It would be great to purchase bulk of data with unlimited time to use it

Well with wind I get 1gb for $13 so thats not too bad.

Is this $13 per month or until you deplete that 1GB credit ?
