Changes:
Talk and Text Plan for $25 now includes picture and video messaging – no price change
Unlimited Messaging is now $10/mth but now includes all picture and video messaging
Caller ID, Voicemail and Unlimited Messaging bundle is now $15 (but now includes all picture/video messaging)

So is this an admission that there is no such niche as the one they aimed for before (voice + txt)or that they bungled the execution?
Seems to me that previously they weren’t going after the same customer as their mothership Telus. But now? They’re fighting for the same customer… What a waste of marketing $.

I think tho the plans have a become a bit more expensive, the $25 plan still fits the bill for me… I mean its the same plan as before but with picture messaging included! Isn’t that better?? And with no SAF or 911 fees, we basically pay $25 + tax … like on everything we buy.

For the talk and text plan, I know the messaging is free, But if you send a picture to someone in the US will it still charge you?
