Be Unreasonable - Aydin Mirzaee's Take on the World » web browsing http://www.beunreasonable.org ยป Aydin Mirzaee's Take on the World Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:20:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 en hourly 1 Unlimited Data Plan with Telus http://www.beunreasonable.org/2008/03/18/unlimited-data-plan-with-telus/ http://www.beunreasonable.org/2008/03/18/unlimited-data-plan-with-telus/#comments Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:01:50 +0000 aydin http://beunreasonable.wordpress.com/?p=86 After hearing all of the ads on the radio from Telus, I called them to see what all the commotion was about and ended up upgrading my plan… yes, yes, I know, again :)
So, what did I get?

$30/month Calling Plan:
150 daytime minutes + unlimited incoming calls + unlimited nights& weekends.
150 minutes is really all I need since I use http://www.bOKnow.com to get as many extra minutes I want to anywhere in North America for about 3 cent/minute. bOKnow also covers my calling needs to Europe with their international rates.

Unlimited Data Plan – $45
Unlimited Web Surfing (which also means unlimited Facebook :) ) + Unlimited Text Messaging + VoiceMail + CallerID + Unlimited Email

What’s the Catch?
Well, apparently, when they say “unlimited web surfing”, that doesn’t include “over-the-air downloads”… in other words, if you want to download the facebook/gmail application onto your blackberry, you’ll be charged… or at least that’s what the customer rep told me on the phone… if I’m wrong about this one, let me know :) After I hung up the phone with the customer rep, I also started wondering if this “unlimited email” actually included downloading attachments… not sure about this… if anyone does know, please leave a comment…

Does Unlimited Data mean the iPhone is coming?
According to Alec, Ottawa’s celebrity blogger, no :(
