My husband just finished out a contract with Bell and is looking for a new cell phone plan/provider. Pretty basic needs - mostly used on wi-fi, so limited calling/texting.
However, he often works in Northern Ontario locations (e.g. White River, Marathon, Wawa) and needs a network that will allow data/pictures to be sent from those job-sites. As of three years ago, only the Bell network worked out there. Rogers MAY now work too. Speed isn't important but the network has to work.
So far I've
- looked up the typical providers' websites and some smaller ones (eg TBayTel on the Rogers network)
- went into a couple stores (e.g. Best Buy)
- asked my mom who used to work for Bell if she has any ideas for getting a better rate.
- gone onto some tech forums and poked around a bit.
What else can I do, besides calling and haggling with Bell for retention? Anyone have great ideas for where to start, or has gotten any great deals for Northern Ontario?
