WIND/Mobilicity, hands down.
On WIND right now I have a $35/month plan that includes unlimited NA calls, unlimited text, unlimited data, plus all those “standard” phone features like voice mail and such.
Granted, that’s a promotional plan, but the “normal” plans for both carriers that have the same features are $45/month.
This isn’t even a contest.

The only difference between the big 3 on price plans is that Telus offers free Voice Mail 3 and doesn’t charge a GRRF, Bell doesn’t charge a GRRF but doesn’t give free voice mail, and Rogers charges a GRRF while giving you no voice mail.
There’s very little difference, but Rogers is clearly the worst.

Mobi is slightly cheaper than the rest, for unlimited type plans.
If you don’t think so, you haven’t looked into it thoroughly. If you will do 12 months with them it is $33.33-$40.00 for everything – including data – depending on how unlimited you need your long distance plan to be. They also have a $100 credit right now, but that doesn’t really count in the long-run, does it?

With TELUS i have unlimited local calls/250 SMS/3GB Internet with CID & VM10. It’s costly compared to others like Mobilicity, but with a calling card, it’s good for people who travel a lot in Canada.
A friend of mine has Mobilicity and paid for a year of service. It’s $30 every month for Canada & USA phone calls & MMS/unlimited global SMS/unlimited data. $360 for a year, it comes down to $30 per month.
The best plan for people living in select urban cities is Mobilicity. Otherwise, it’s a toast to TELUS.

IMO Wind doesn’t count, as its coverage is not nearly widespread enough for me to consider it a Canadian carrier. Maybe a big-city or regional carrier, but even then it’s nowhere near Canada’s 2nd biggest city, Montreal (greater metropolitan population: 3 million!). I wouldn’t call a postal service that only delivers mail from 5 cities a national one either.

They are not being ignorant, they just consider the definition of “Canadian carrier” to include “owned and operated by” in it, instead of just “operating in”.
Perhaps incorrectly, but since it was not specified in the post, he’s not being ignorant at all. It’s open to interpretation.

i’ve been with rogers, bell, telus and fido. i really like the plan thats going around with the big carriers, $55 200 mins, nation my10 unlimited text 1gb of data. i recently just switched to that. its a pretty valuable plan, imo. anyone thinking of getting a smartphone should definitely try to look at these plans. but after all the extras like caller id and voicemail, “govt fees”, tax, its easy for thhis plan to inflate to around $80 a month
but whoever came up with this plan first, made it marketable and got the seal of business approval should get a pat on the back

lol This vote is pointless. People are aren’t voting for the obviously choices because they say they aren’t in their area or the roaming charges aren’t as good.
This vote is for who has the best MONTHLY PLANS. It doesn’t matter if you can’t get it, and it doesn’t matter about roaming charges.
The monthly plans on both Mobi and Wind are better then any other carrier in this country.
All those other issues are no part of this vote.

Mobilicity and WIND Mobile are doing great in Canada. With their competitive pricing, they are waking up our nation. We don’t have to remain the worst cell $$ sucking plans on the planet. Kudos to Mobilicity and WIND. My votes are always to them. I have a WIND monthly plan and have never had a dropped call since I started in January. I think the major problem is that blind consumers don’t get the awareness that there is indeed an excellent alternative to BellTelusRogers.

Coverage aside, ff you want a phone purely to chat your head off, then I would think public mobile’s $15 unlimited province-wide calling is pretty hard to beat… that’s cheaper than VoIP on Vonage or no-frills home phone from Rogers or Cogeco. Of course this survey probably means data as well, so I would have to go with one of the other new entrants (again coverage aside).

Wow I can’t believe how many people are white knighting the new entrants here.
They are cheaper, yes. But they are cheaper because they can’t compete in either coverage or signal quality. This is an absolute fact. Do you think they wouldn’t charge more if they could? Would you go with wind right now if they charged the same rates as the incumbents?
Does this make them a bad deal? No. If you value savings (sometimes alot of savings) off your bill at the EXPENSE of signal quality and coverage, then it might be ok for you. But just because they are the cheapest certainly does not make them the best option.

This question seems to completely disregard Quebecers, considering that Videotron isn’t even mentioned in the choices.

Last time I checked my friends also got nailed for huge long distance charges when we were in Huntsville as well to Toronto.

This is a stupid question. Unlike the US, where carriers offer “unlimited everything” plans, in Canada no one offers that. So one plan may be fantastic for one group of people, but useless for others.
In terms of cheapness, yeah a lot of the small carriers offer great deals if you happy to never leave the city. But what about those truck drivers? Or business people who need to call or be called outside the city? Sometimes the big evil 3 offer decent rates for them.
So no one offers the best monthly plan.

Wind offers good value for money and they seem to be expanding their network as time goes on. I just hope they keep the same rates once they have a national network. Mobilicity has a horrible network on the other hand. They haven’t expanded at all in the last year and they sell their product products out of pizza stores and ethnic food shops. Wind should buy Mobilicity and re-deploy their network equipment to rural areas. Then Wind will really be able to compete with Rogers,Bell and Telus.

Wawa, sorry to say that I thought you had the smarts to figure out fake posts and IDs when you saw them. Apparently I was wrong.
“Mike Jones” is a fake, a tired attempt by others to support what ever “cause” they have, using childish and moronic tactics to cover for the lack of any intelligence and original ideas.

Who cares if it’s the real Jones or an impersonator,same BS philosophy and ignorance that is imbedded in his moronic followers…he’s a disgrace just like Wind Mobile who allowed him to do that and deleted/removed legit complaints.This company isn’t a Telco,it’s a parasite in the industry and the sooner the Russians sell it running like Orascom the better and then maybe a new group will do what is right…this company is total unethical and that’s why they have poor service where in reality they are stealing your money more than the Big Three.

I’ve been with Wind for 6 months and I’m happy with their service. Of course I happen to live in one of the 5 cities they serve. If I lived somewhere else I’d feel differently, I’m sure.

I sure hope people did research BEFORE they voted. WIND is pretty obvious. Though I wish they were located in more cities.

..so the question is simple, “WHAT CARRIER HAS THE BEST MONTHLY PLAN?”, it was not about coverage or anything else, hands down I will say Mobi.
Even the $45 still better than what the others offer on their respective areas of coverage and if u add the cost or options for LD then ur more than set, not to forget the data at $10 which is unlimited unlike the gang.
Btw, I get All Unlimited for $40 and in the during 3 months I have spent $15 on ILD, compare that to Fido where I was going for $100 on ILD during the same period of 3 months, now u do the math.

There is no long distance charges on mobi / wind.
On mobi I am paying 20c / min to call home from any roaming area.

Well, Robelus charges 35c/min to roam on their OWN network (the lovely “long distance” charges + their “airtime”)
Mobilicity/wind charges 20c all incl on robbers/tmobile. (US roaming is 20c/mmin … all inclusive). Now tell me, why isnt mobi/wind cheaper for the occational roamer?

Mobilicity $45plan is the best. North American LD, international texting, picture messaging anywhere in North America plus voicemail, caller id and call waiting.Everything unlimited for only $50.40 with $10 data add-on (unlimted data) is the best plan in the industry for me right now

In terms of raw price (factoring out “zone coverage” and limited availability), I’d say Public Mobile.
$15/month = unlimited province-wide calling from home zone
$24/month = same as above + caller ID + unlimited worldwide text

Mobi wins hands down. No one can touch the $10 unlimited data add-on, and frankly it’s not for people who live in the areas that aren’t covered…..unless you have pay as you go…..then with the $.20 /min flat rate it’s STILL cheaper.
Wind only has so much time left…..

A good plan without a good network is not of any use to anyone. That being the case I decided not to vote.

Whether it’s Mobilicity’s unlimited $35 plan or $45 plan –with or without our incredible $10 unlimited data add-on –one thing is for sure, we have the best monthly plans!

Not everyone has Mobilicity or Wind in there service area.
I only have a choice between Robers or Telus.
Telus is by far the lesser of the two evils.

Still running on the holiday promo for wind, so $7.50/month for unlimited international text and 150 minutes… Way better than anything possible (see telus 20$/month for 50 minutes, no text or data)
Plus the fact I live on school campus all the time means i dont need data on the go… so it works =)

What the heck, wind plans suck, you leave their wind zones and you get charged for roaming pretty much in your own country. Its a nice idea having unlimited plans, but in reality its quite limited

7 mo Calgary Wind user. Switched away (over a period) from Telus to Rogers to Fido, and after plenty of arguments and outright lies (and a fiasco with Fido holding “hostage” money as a “credit”), I switched to Wind for the deep savings and zero contract.
I haven’t had coverage issues, and have loved the service the entire time (Holiday Miracle Plan, followed by upgrading to the Irressistable 35 to save $5/mo more.
). I have loved the service in entirety – the unlimitted low cost, the friendly and surprisingly competent personel (which I had basically come to assume was an impossibility), the detailed billing without hidden fees, and the list goes on.
Suffice to say, it’s the first time (ever) I have almost been pleased to pay my phone bill.
Setting aside the deep savings, I did a simple calculation of my usage based on a scaled down version of my service (250 minutes, 1000 text messages, 2 GB data), and I’m still saving more if I did all my calling while ROAMING on the Wind network than if I was on the Robelus network. That’s not including other services like voicemail, call control, and the regular shpiel (although I’m not comparing against the price plans available to you if you argue with Customer Retention for 3 hours, which I did and were still not even close in comparison, although the savings compared to stock price were DRASTIC).
The major downsides: Wind has been (up until Nexus S, the (basically) only real exception) thuroughly committed to sh!t phones (so you really need to order one yourself, the home zones are restricted to major Canadian cities (so not available to everyone, especially those who live remotely, which almost has been a consideration for me, drastically affecting the savings), and… well, that’s basically it (I can’t comment on coverage loss as here in Calgary/Edmonton I traverse the cities regularly and generally don’t lose reception in any place I haven’t lost reception on Rogers/Fido).
In summary, I love Wind if it’s available to you. If you’re going Big 3 you MUST argue with retention to get even a remotely reasonable price (you can save considerably, which adds up a lot when you factor it over 36 months of service). Moblicity also has a lot of good promotions, so they’re worth checking out too (especially if you’re willing to buy lump sums of service at a time, it’s like 30% off, but then you can’t really walk away from the service if it’s not for you).
Hope that helps someone.

I’ll add even the EPP I had with Rogers (briefly) wasn’t comparable.
