Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.

On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.

    Koodo has been decent, I’m at 75Gig for $55, with free unlimited calling to 28 countries . (pick a perk) Also, not sure not sure what you mean about no one is texting nor using 1000 minutes per month?

      I text 0 characters a month and use 0 minutes.

      It’s all Skype, fbmsgr, hangouts.

      Because it’s 2023.

        I’ve never thought of using Skype as being modern. Maybe Discord, Matrix, Teams, Whatsapp…

        Urbanite spotted.

        Sometimes I wonder if people in cities have no idea the digital divide exists.

        Texting and calling via a cellphone network is a far more reliable where I live, and even at that, there are known dead zones along my road (a main road) where calls drop, and texts either don’t send or a painfully slow.

        Well not sure why you have downvotes, but for me its also used as work phone so texts via sms and regular phone calls are a thing because you can’t control customer app choices or device choices, so a standard sms or phonecall is required.
