BRITISH COLUMBIA/ALBERTA REGION OFFERS

———–

Android device with Personal Voice Plan and add-on data (3 year contract)

You will want a plan that will give you enough minutes so you do not end up paying overage fees. Currently there is a good $30.00 Personal voice plan that includes the following:

• 100 Daytime Minutes + 50 Bonus Minutes
• Unlimited Evenings & Weekends at 9PM

And then you may choose ONE (1) of the following free promos to add to the plan:

1,000 Messages (unlimited received) or Double your Daytime Minutes or My5 Local

If you need more minutes, then you should choose a higher voice plan.

What it comes down to is you may choose a Voice and Data plan combo (where they come together) or separate the two and choose a Voice plan and add a Data plan option.

As mentioned previously, you can still pick up the $30.00 Personal Plan and then for a data option, the best value is the Smartphone Data Value Pack. This pack is $40 and gives you:

$40 Smartphone Data Value Pack

• 500MB of Data
• Caller Display with Name Display
• Enhanced Voicemail
• Unlimited Sent/Received Text Messages
• Unlimited Sent/Received Picture/Video Messages

If you need more minutes or more data, you simply increase your plan, but that does mean increasing the amount you pay. (In other words, you do not have to choose what I just recommended. There are many VOICE plans to choose from but only ONE $40 Smartphone Data Value Pack).

The Total

If you get the Personal plan with the $40 Smartphone Data Value pack, your monthly total with all fees and taxes (in the BC/ALBERTA REGION) will be as follows:

$30 Personal plan with Smartphone Data Value pack total: $81.29 in BC and $76.21 in AB

The Android devices will cost $49 (Dream), $79 (Magic) and $49 (LG Eve) under this plan.

Voice and Data Combo plans (3 year contract)

$50 Personal Voice & Data Plan

• 100 Daytime Minutes + 100 Bonus Minutes

And then you may choose ONE (1) of the following free promos to add to the plan:

Unlimited Messages (unlimited received) or Double your Daytime Minutes or My5 Canada-Wide or Unlimited Local Network Calling

Note: If you add $9 and make the plan $59 or $7 and make the plan $57, you can start your evenings at 5PM or 6PM respectively.

Next, if you want Voicemail and all the extras, you may add the $20 Smartphone Value Pack to the above plan. That pack includes the following:

$20 Smartphone Value Pack

• Enhanced Voicemail
• Caller Display with Name Display
• Unlimited  sent/received Text Messages
• Unlimited sent/received Picture/Video Messages

The Totals

If you get just the Personal Voice & Data plan alone, your monthly totals with all fees and taxes (in the BC/ALBERTA REGION) will be as follows:

$50 Personal Voice & Data plan total: $58.89 in BC and $55.21 in AB

If you add the $20 Smartphone Value pack, your totals become:

$50 Personal Voice & Data plan with Smartphone Pack total: $81.29 in BC and $76.21 in AB

The Android devices will be $49 (Dream), $79 (Magic) and $49 (LG Eve) with the Personal Voice & Data/Smartphone plan, whether you add the $20 Smartphone Pack or not.

Note: Because the Personal Voice & Data plan already includes a Data option, you will not be able to “add” more than 1GB of data to these plans as if you get a SEPARATE voice and separate data option.
