I love this place, and I appreciate all that I have learned from it. I’ve been pretty shy around here, up to the point of being too afraid to post my own reactions in this site until now (I found a book that has really turned my life around). Anywho, thanks for letting me be a part of this community and give a little shout out.

Hey Justin, I completey agree with Locke about waiting for the mail from the carrier first and slot in the complaint letter in the return envelope.

I would like to add though; put a brick in a box (shoe box or any box would do the job), and tape the envelope on top (neatly) and mail it.

If the carrier ignore your complaint, at least they have to pay twenty cents for each ounce you mailed to them!

p/s- revenge works in so many ways, so be creative!LOL

Well Well Well fellas…I hope a revolution will soon start..You have gotta realize that Canadian Corporation dosent need to care about consumres..The competition is virtually nill..zero..nada..Go on into the asian countries and look at their phone and data plans..
eg: Malaysia:

Prepaid:
Company-Digi

SMS-Free ( Incoming and Outgoing)
Calls: Incoming-Free
Calls Outgoing-.03 cents per minute(1 cents Ringgit Malaysia)

Call Display-Free
Data rate: 1 cent per 5 Mega Bytes
Voice mail-(same cost as outgoing call-charged as long it is used)

Average cost of having a prepaid cellphone per month- 5 to 10 USD
And with that 10 bucks, i go head over heels with my cellphone..using it 24/7
Post paid charges you around 15-18 USD per Month…and it includes every god damn thing there is..no ta, no 911 fess..nothing..pay 18 bucks a month and nothin more..

Now I am in canada..

Average cost for a prepaid phone-30 bucks per month. texting-15 cents per sms, no data plan-too expensive..

All this is simply bcoz the govt has restricted all foreign markets in canada..so service providers have no competition. If they want to charge more, what can we do??.other than pay what they ask..if there was free trade, the competition will be high, especially with money and companies from china, and india flowing in.. Canadian companies would have to drastically lower their charges simply to stay alive in the race…So quit sitting in your houses and tell your polititians that you care..Call your regional MP, or whatever..Unite people Unite..

Sorry to be so blunt about it, but if you don’t like it, don’t text message…all carriers will block the service for you completely if you ask them to, the market price is set at what people are willing to pay, if you don’t pay then the price might come down, it’s the only way your going to have any effect.

Look at AT&T’s push to talk feature…was $10 a month for unlimited…no one used it, it’s now $5 a month for unlimited…if people continue to NOT use it, watch pretty soon it will be free.

[...] Singura smecherie e ca 1MB de SMS-uri inseamna 6554 de mesaje. Si eu nu cred ca am trimis atatea in viata mea de cand folosesc telefonul mobil. Interesant, nu? Adaptat pentru noi, de la Justin. [...]

It’s true that that is a lot of money, but you have to consider the fact that these are competitive prices, if they charged what it really costed them then this service would be INCREDIBLY cheap.

Another thing to take into account is that there is a cost to the cell phone company of establishing the link between the phone and the tower prior to sending the text (notifying the tower of pending message) and the confirmation of the text from the tower back to the phone.
