No internet on Primus

[midtoad]

The Primus rep I spoke to says that none of the phones they sell have a browser and there's no internet access possible. So why do they sell 0.25 and 1.0 MB data packages (using GPRS) at $3 or $7/mo.? What could you do with that GPRS - tether to a PDA or PC?

I doubt that tethering would make much sense with such an insanely low bucket (0.25 & 1 MB?!). Perhaps it's made for those of us who have capable phones that need pre-paid data.

Heck, a good example would be a holidaymaker who wouldn't be in Canada for long & needs something that works but is cheaper than roaming on their standard device/line. 7$/MB works out to about 0.007$/KB or seven tenths of a penny per kilobyte, which is actually cheaper than most US carrier roaming prices which usually start 0.01$/KB | ~10$/MB.
