I bought an Android phone

Cell phone plans are tricky and complicated.  I don't pretend to know
all of their ins and outs.

The best plan depends on your objective function.  A lot.

Speak Out from 7-11 seems like a great deal if the plan suits you.  At
various times of the year they have good sales too.

Koodo plans are listed here:

A la carte here:

They are simpler to understand than most other vendors' offerings.

My "plan" is the basic a la carte ("build your own") plus data.
Call display would add $6/month.

Wind etcetera have some great offers but their frequencies are screwy.

I think that Steve Punter's Southern Ontario Cell Phone Page is a
useful place to find out about cell phones:

I first heard of Steve Punter with regard to Commodore PET BBSes.
