Re: Telus Mobility Customers
I was just on the phone with Telus Mobility (Alberta) to find out about cell phone use this January. I.haz.a.teenager. Feel.my.pain.
Ok - so since her existing texting plan on her iPhone is "unlimited", they are suggesting their $20 US Travel Text Pass which continues the "unlimited" texting with no additional roaming, for 30 days. Forgive my ignorance, but is that possible - texting without roaming?
Naturally I would want to confirm the rate again before we go.
My BB has the same, so it will be $20 x 2 = $40.00 for unlimited texting, no additional roaming charges. I am okay with that. It means she can text her friends, we can text eachother, and dh. so that's good.
Now, the data plan "US Travel Pass" is not so attractive but even more so, confusing!!! For their $10 Data Pass we get $1.00 per MB.
How the heck do I estimate what a MB looks like in terms of actual usage??? On their website, it says 100 KB = "Facebook". Well, is that like, to click on FB and then click away?
To leisurely visit FB and all your buddies???
Like, I know she'll want to look at FB. So, a normal day at home, she'll want to read her News Feed and send messages, and chat. For hours. Naturally, that wouldn't be happening at DW, but how can I figure out *what* she *could* be allowed to do, say, if we were to ok "some" data usage....maybe like 5MB per day. Or, maybe we should just buy internet for the room periodically, and she can use the laptop to access the interwebs but no usage of data on the phone. Room internet is $9.95 per day, right?
What to do ... what to do....
