Hello,

My 15 year old son lost cell phone at concert on Sunday (aargh!) and so am now trying to decipher what's out there (GTA) to replace his phone and to now bow to pressure from his brother for a phone.

1) Will be buying 2 phones for my soon to be 16 and 14 year old sons. Main requirement is dedicated keyboard for texting. They also like their songs so decent MP3 performance.

2) Service plan experience to date has been pretty minimal voice, moderate data, and unlimited texting. All in GTA area.

3) If there is some decent family plan out there I might even consider buying a new phone for me to replace my dinosaur. And I guess I should be thinking about getting one for my 11 year old son in a year or two.

Have been with Telus and Bell - usual service nightmares. Willing to try anyone this time around.

Thanks for help,

Doesn't seem to be any 'family discount' on plans but I guess at that price there shouldn't be any complaints. Are there any Mobilicity promotions on right now or is the retail price the best?

Mobilicity website is pretty simple so can't sort to find phones with dedicated keyboard. How does the Gravity Touch compare to Blacberry products like say the Blackberry Curve 9320?
