How much data do I need on my cell phone plan?
Need data for your smart phone? Know where you stand.
In order to get the full value from your smart phone you will need to purchase a separate data plan, which varies by carrier. A data plan will allow you to browse the internet and check email, however, the plans can vary quite substantially and estimating your data needs is important in keeping your monthly costs manageable.
So let’s answer the question, “How much data do you need on your smart phone?”
Rogers to End System Access Fees! Not exactly.
No more system access fees says Rogers
Does SAF fees end by Rogers mean lower cell phone bills?
System access fees (SAF) need to die a natural death. As we all know this is NOT a government fee it’s a pure money grab by the carriers. Bell, Rogers and TELUS have removed this fee from their flanker or discount brands – Fido, Solo and Koodo. So in an attempt to alleviate some of customer’s pure ire on this fee, Rogers is eliminating it. Good news right! Hold strain, not so fast, in its place they are introducing a new “regulatory recovery fee” which will differ by province and will be added to customers cell phone bills. It is said to be in the range of $2.46 to $3.46.

Photo Contest Winner Picks iPhone
myCELLmyTERMS.com First Contest Winner
Congratulations to Colleen Cole of Brampton Ontario, the first place prize winner of “Summer in Toronto” photo contest for her submission Dad at The Game.
Colleen Cole (snickerzmom) won the “Summer in Toronto” photo contest on Lenzr.com and then had a choice to make…
On Sept 3rd 2009, she met Paul Peic of myCELLmyTERMS inside the Arriba restaurant on the north side of the Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto. They talked about her cell phone strategy as the Blue Jays rehearsed on left field below. Colleen is a smart phone ‘early adopter’ who purchased a HipTop II phone (released as the ‘Sidekick’ in Canada) back in April 2005. She was busy taking pictures with her phone back then too.
The meeting was the perfect end to an exciting promotion that just happened to coincide with another family visit to a Blue Jays game (playing New York Yankees) with her father, who is the subject of the winning photo. Here’s Paul presenting Colleen with her choice of phone.
