Cell Phone Provider Plans

The following are cell plans that work with Telsair service (last updated Apr. 19, 2010). Plans are subject to change and might vary for different provinces, so make sure your cell plan includes either all day free Unlimited Incoming or MY5/Favorite5.

Local Unlimited Incoming plans can be used for any Canadian city with Telsair service. Local MY5/Favorite5 plans can be used if you are in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto/GTA, or Vancouver because dialthrough access numbers are currently available for these cities. If you are in an area outside these cities, you can use a National Canada-wide MY5/Favorite5 plan to be able to add one of these cities' dialthrough access number to your favorite 5 list.

Cell phone service providers generally allow you to change cell plans, even if you have an existing contract, as long as you stay with them.

  Switching Cell Phone Providers

A cell phone usually can't be used with another cell phone provider. If you have a GSM cell phone (used by Rogers and Fido), then you can unlock it at some cell phone stores so that the phone can be used by more than one GSM provider. With an unlocked phone, you can just change the SIM card to change to the new provider. In Canada, Bell, Telus, Koodo, Solo, and Virgin use CDMA technology so their phones don't use a SIM card.
