Mobilicity $30 all in Promo

**acemobile** · 07-13-2012, 09:00 AM

If BIS was included within the $30, I'd be more inclined to try it out for a year.

I know it's only $5, but WIND and other carriers include BIS if they offer data at no additional charge. I think Mobilicity should do the same.

If they did the same everyone's price plan goes up.

The big 3 have it included because they have blackberry specific plans. There isn't bis on a normal rogers smartphone plan. So why should mobilicity add it to all the plans?

When you are already overcharging for data by 2 - 3 - 5 - 6X and making an obscene profit you then have the luxury of including BIS.

Wind charges for voicemail for all plans where Moblicity does not.

Mobilicity charges for voicemail too. I want to jump ships from Blackberry, but I don't know of ANY phone that have near or even better of a battery life.

you haven't talked to iFruit guys lately...

they'll tell you, rather convincingly that their battery life, keyboard, email and BBM capabilities are better on their iphone than on a blackberry...

...wait a minute...

They don't charge if you have a plan above $25.00

I think you should tell others to include Caller ID (the Big 3) and Voicemail (the Big "4", only Mobi's $25 plan doesn't include this feature)) before you starting telling what Mobi should include. Caller ID and Voicemail are a LOT more basic features than BIS.

I read over on RFD that you must actually charge this to PAC , you can't apply your credits to this or the discount will disappear.
Can anyone comment on if this is true? My GF got early-charged her 12 month MM so she has a tonnes of credit.

I just switched my BTS to the $55 thing. I transferred $15 from my wallet to my account since I have free roaming and don't want to take a chance on data roaming.

I still had a balance from the $200 port in which they left alone and it is still in my account. About $50 total.

**Volition** · 07-13-2012, 07:21 PM

So if the $25 dollar BTS plan is the only plan in which there is no voice mail, wouldn't it have been logical for Mobilcity to include more features in the $5 voice-maill add-on like call waiting, forwarding etc.? I mean that add-on is only tailored for that very plan right?

I understand the Big 3 are charging more, but they also have a much much better network. I'm not justifying the over charging, but relative to what Mobilicity's charging, it's not that significant a difference.

**jokeracing** · 07-13-2012, 10:50 PM

The big one for me is wind not including any mms on any of their plans.

Using textplus or anything else is not a solution. Wind fans say it keeps the network from getting congested. Hahaha almost as bad as ifanboys.

Who cares for voicemail, it's all about the mms.

Where's the cheapest place to transiently port out my mobi # to?

IE what would be the min overhead I'd look at incurring.

Port to Wind? Buy the sim @ $10?, would I need to pay anything towards the balance of their cheapest plan?

or is there a Big3 prepaid option I can do instead?

Then that same day (or day after worst case), I'd port back to Mobi for the promo.

All this headache to save $120+tax - (whatever overhead I'll incur in the process).

I think our can switch to this plan as an existing customer. There aren't any credits involved this time around so why waste all the time and money?
