I have finally said good-byes to my phone landline and have moved to exclusively to mobile phone .
I hated paying almost $20 for a landline with no features and just local calling.
I have moved to Virgin Mobile as my preferred mobile carrier(have been using them for almost 2-3 yrs) because it is the most flexible service that is it allows you to switch between a pay-as you go model to a monthly service anytime without **any** annual contracts etc.You can also switch plans like say for example in the next month you anticipate that you will need a phone more then usual , then you can increase the monthly amount, and then say the month after next you are going out of country and wont be using the phone at all you can , reduce your monthly charges.
It seems that the mobile phone industry pretty much has a price war going on right now and I would not like to lock myself into a contract when I could have more choices in near future.In general I just don't like contracts, I prefer freedom for consumers which seems to be hard to get these days especially with the telecom industry.
Here is a nice site that provides a good comparison of pre-paid wireless plans/carriers.
Time to time there are good deals on Target or at Calling Mart where you can get Virgin Mobile Top-Up cards at a significant discount , sometimes upto 10%.
