PC Mobile

I'm not a heavy cellphone user. Mostly for security, convenience & occasional travel. I don't subscribe to a monthly plan. Their Anytime plan is great for me. I just top up w/$100 every year. Unused balance carries over when I top up. If my balance is too high, I just text some money to charity. They are the best company because they don't charge for so many things. Incoming texts are free, as is voice-mail... Outgoing texts are just 15 cents, outside N. America 20 cents. Phone calls 20 cents per minute. Long-distance just 24 cents per minute if you use a PC prepaid long-distance card. Just bought my husband a great HTC smartphone for $49 w/PC Mobile (including $10 bonus airtime). He's delighted. I've shopped around online for a better service in Canada, especially here on the NW coast of BC. There just isn't 1.

I am not yet a customer of PC Mobile; I am simply trying to become one.
However, after my experience with their customer service (via telephone), I am starting to question the wisdom of this decision.
Their website is currently advertising an attractive sale price for one of their phones, but according to customer service this phone is not actually available in *any* of their stores. I questioned why, if the phone is not available for purchase, PC would continue to advertise the sale price. The rep's response was to just laugh.
I have asked to speak to a supervisor on 3 occasions, and have been refused all 3 times. If this is what they do to attract potential customers, I would hate to see how they treat their existing customers that they have already reeled in.
At this point, I would not recommend this service to anyone.

I just activated my phone and SIM card with PC mobile but I have not added any air time yet. For some reason I have a .03 cent balance without paying for the $15 per month prepaid plain I was thinking of getting. (It was too late at night and they were closed for a new account setup).

So for now I have been using FREE incoming and outgoing Text messaging and connecting to WiFi to do things like check the weather forcast or lookup an address on Google Maps.

Pretty good for a free plan, so far.

A little hesitant about there $15 per month plan after all I have read. Does anyone know if you can use a PC Mobility phone for a Bell PrePaid plan?? I know you can do it the other way round.

PC Mobility has a new PrePaid deal out - $100 for a year (365 days). That works out to $8.33 per month. But it probably has that pesky to and from PC phones only for the voice calls like the $15 and $25 per month deals.

I may still give them a try as I do not plan on using this phone for that many phone calls.

The best part was the sale price of the phone I bought from Superstore. A $139.00 smartphone for only $49.00 (an HTC Desire). I love it!
