bc | Really?
I think the main thing here is people think this is ALL incoming text messages.
I have a plan, and I'm not sure what's happening. |

I got off that ship real fast. Rogers has some reasonable plans (as reasonable as mobile phone plans are, anyway) but their customer service is pretty abysmal. Lesser of two evils in this case, I suppose. Fido is owned by Rogers, so really you're getting the same treatment with them, only their customer support isn't 24 hours, last time I checked.
Good luck.

I never sent or recieved enough text messages in a month to justify having a text plan...then they raised the cost to 15 cents to send and 15 cents to receive in an effort to get more people to buy the monthly plan.. Now I refuse to do so just out of stubbornness because I hate that kind of manipulative junk.
