OMG!! WNP!!!
Did I get your attention.?? Well WOW!! When did this happen.? OH YEAH!! it was today!! What a great idea!! Canada coming into 2007 finally!! they talked about it (it seems) for years!! but today we finally have Wireless Number Portability (WNP). What a great way to increase competitive pricing and packages within the Cell Phone Market in Canada!
Oh! I have looked into going to another Cell Phone provider for a few years now. Especially since I have and will plan to visit abroad more often. Mainly back to India and when I am there my Telus Phone doesn’t allow me the same freedom as does a phone from say, Fido or Rogers their GSM System which uses a SIM Card (Subscriber Identity Module)  is what I would need to have local cellular phone service visiting India or other countries using GSM. Not forgetting to mentionBell Canada. but both Bell and Telus are on a CDMA System. which seems not be too widely used in India as it is within North America. Sure they have companies that use the CDMA System in India but none have any support for a Phone from Telus and most likely Bell. Besides who would want to pay the Roaming Charges when over seas using your local number from Canada within India. I have been there done that.. will never do it again!
I’m not saying I dislike Telus I have been with Telus now since the mid 1990’s and I first had service with them in the early 1990’s too with a pager and 3 cell phones. But where I am not happy is with the limitations in the Phone we are offered with Telus. the Asian and European Markets get WAY better phones with WAY better service plans than we do currently in Canada. I was about to say “better service plans than we do currently in North America”, but I know the US Markets have way better plans than we do in Canada. I could go on and on about what I don’t like about each of the Cell Phone Companies I mentioned in this post but I will save that for another post. For now I will leave it on a good note and close with…..
WE FINALLY HAVE WIRELESS NUMBER PORTABILITY IN CANADA!!
p.s. Now lets get the companies competing to keep their customers and see if we can’t reduce that 60% higher rate we pay for similar service than in the USA and even more than what they pay in Europe and Asia!! For more information on this Please visit Wireless Number Portability in Canada.
