Next Alternative to Mobilicity ?

[iUnlockPhones]

Both Wind and Mobilicity will give you poor reception in basement & generally indoors.
Obviously there are some locations where basement coverage will be excellent (if the tower is nearby).
I had to switch to the Big 3 to get decent coverage indoors after trying both Wind and Mobilicity.

Fido, Koodo and Virgin are good alternatives if you need data.

If you don't need data, Chatr is probably the best.

You put your cellphone right beside the base unit of the cordless phone. The cellphone communicate with the cordless phone via BT. You use the handset of the cordless phone to access the cellphone network.

Wouldn't that solve your problem of not able to use your Mobi phone in the basement?

Not really - I live on 20th floor and my car is parked in 2nd level of basement

Chatr has zones, and you get charged outside those zones.

Yes but you can try avoiding making calls while out of zone. Atleast you get calls. I am paying for roaming on Mobilicity too. Koodo have this exciting no roaming plan.. Website dont tell how much would you be charged

And as you said before xtachx it's actually being phased out, at least at the retail level.

Well Chatr did not had any dedicated retail outlet. They were using other vendors to sell their connections.

Chatr have the data plan too. I just check email and thats all.

@All
I have finalized it would be chatr or Koodo. Probably Chatr. I have still around 2-3 weeks left for the current month. Will move then

Chat-r data is only 100MB and if they do not have their own locations how can they close them?!

With chatr, once you are out of the "Zone", your phone doesnt read CDN Roaming, it reads "Chatr". You wont know when you are out of the zone. You may very well be IN zone but connected to a tower outside.

Actually I did when I was in junior school. Works fantastic

So you dont know when you are charged roaming ?
