Wanting to die right now...

[Amtron]

Just got my phone bill from Telus... $129.17. Note that I'm a student and my normal bill is around $50.I need a new plan apparently...

[Kamikaze]

That's nothing... try telling your wife you lost your wedding ring, and to find out the price of platinum has tripled so that $800 ring is now $2200+.

[ajflan]

Lol I feel for ya. I once had a single month phone bill of 298 bucks.

[AKLGT]

(removed).my phone bill hasn't been less than $300 in 2 yrs.

[808 Vibes]

Yeah, that really is nothing! In December I was watching WAY too many stupid streaming video, movies, TV shows, etc. on my aircard. (who knew I had a monthly limit? I sure didn't! LOL) My cel+mom's cel+aircard that month: $297 (combined bill w/family plan) Oh well... live and learn...no more HULU for me! I deleted it from my bookmarks...out of sight, out of mind!

[tribalman]

honestly? over 300?? why? i've never used more than my 100 or so out going text messages or 700 outgoing minutes (haha, free incomming call/texts). i have never been that anxious to be online to watch some show, go on a forum, or just browse before.and for the price people are paying for those "unlimited" data plans is just nuts. it is so slow compared to cable/dsl. always check to see what the max is on the "unlimited" plan.

You gotta love that minute billing, they always round up. 1 minute 3 seconds equals 2 minutes. That's why I keep my old plan from 1999, it has second billing, it helps a lot. Canada has some of the most expensive cell phone rates in the world. Oh and Amtron, Ottawa has the second highest bus rates in North America, second only to San Francisco.WHEN THEY AREN'T ON STRIKE FOR 2 MONTHS

[Sublimewind]

wow, so your life is worth 129$... I got 130, let's make a deal.... ;o)I just called in my altel bill, which is usually 130 something... the automated thing says to me I owe 450$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, they charged us for a replacement phone, that my GF hadden't sent back... We do web over cell, much like the "aircard" mentioned above, but we opted for the phone, which is nice, because if we have people visiting from out of state or something, we can loan out the phone...

More accidents since more people on the road. I want to vent right now, but all my swears will just be astericks'...Quote, originally posted by tribalman »honestly? over 300?? why? i've never used more than my 100 or so out going text messages or 700 outgoing minutes (haha, free incomming call/texts). I think one month I had about 4000 texts outgoing and about 4000 texts incoming. Still managed to not pass the unlimited amount though...

[hskater26]

mine is about 110 every month

[Wolfman213]

mine is 101.88 every month. I rarely go over the minutes and have unlimited data transfer (web) and text. The state employee discount doesn't hurt though

[lowincash]

last month i started texting a lot and used about $60 in text messages...apparently each text is 20 cents and i always thought it was 10 cents =/ well i ended up getting a text messaging plan...but even with that my bill only came out to be $124'ish

[Vibe_dude]

I have a bundle package for my ultra high speed internet,home phone,and cell phone and its only $114 CDN/mth.So I think these cell phone rates are nuts.

[ArcsVibe]

How far are you into your contract? You can always call *611 and ask to speak to retentions (client loyalty what ever they call it these days lol) and ask to re-evaluate your plan. Telus a while back had a 50 student plan is that what you are on?For some good tips, news etc check out http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47 (Telus forum)Good luck!

I kind of hate the thing.where i live and with the company i use i am allowed to change my plan without having to extend my contract. that's nice. i wish i was in CA, they can cancel their cell contracts without having to pay that BS $200+ contract cancellation fee.

[Vibe_dude]

It is through Aliant, which would be Bell in Ontario.I am hoping to get my Bell Express Vu HD through them too.....but they have not added TV to the bundle package yet.

[4azdmunky]

i feel your pain. My wife went to Mexico (Brownsville ?) for 3 days, and came back with $280 in text charges on a unlimited texting TMobile plan
