Dual Sim: Talk/Text & Data Plans?
I just bought a OnePlus 5. With this phone having dual sim support, are there any talk/text-only and data-only plans I can combine for the cheapest total? I'm looking for at least 4gb of data. Thanks!

Tablet plan is $25 per month for 7 GB data? That's amazing. Any tricks to get this?danieltoronto wrote: ↑Jul 13th, 2017 12:18 pmThe best combination would be
1. Data $15 Fido tablet plan 3 Gb a month + $10 for 4 Gb a month

No. It is $15 for 3 Gb ($15) and $10 for 1 extra Gb. I marked it very clearly that it costs $25 for 4 Gb as the OP specified his requirement for 4 Gbtitaniumtux wrote: ↑Jul 13th, 2017 2:18 pmTablet plan is $25 per month for 7 GB data? That's amazing. Any tricks to get this?

That makes sense. So $25 for 4 GB...still an amazing deal.danieltoronto wrote: ↑Jul 13th, 2017 4:59 pmNo. It is $15 for 3 Gb ($15) and $10 for 1 extra Gb. I marked it very clearly that it costs $25 for 4 Gb as the OP specified his requirement for 4 Gb

I can see the rationale of that ($30 for 6 LTE Gb)

OP has a OnePlus 5. I assume that is the latest and would have such flexibility.danieltoronto wrote: ↑Jul 16th, 2017 5:41 pmI can see the rationale of that ($30 for 6 LTE Gb)
For newer dual SIM phone it is a matter of making a couple of taps to switch the SIMs. But for older one, users have to manually take the data SIM to SIM#1 as SIM#2 cannot do data at all.
Fido has now put a stop as the tablet SIM has to be associated with another Fido account (that was not the case back last year)

I use Textme instead. Basically the same idea but with a huge plus in the text area.plucky duck wrote: ↑Jul 16th, 2017 6:59 pmI use the fido app to keep track of my data usage. Honestly get a data plan first and see how your usage is, and see if voice quality is acceptable for you via TextNow, then consider adding on a basic voice plan if you really need it.

I want to try this text me thing, but there are two apps from the same company on google play,danieltoronto wrote: ↑Jul 16th, 2017 9:32 pmI use Textme instead. Basically the same idea but with a huge plus in the text area.
Textme comes with a local Canadian # of your choice, free text and free incoming call. If you feel like paying for voice call that costs 2 cents a minute almost to worldwide location. If you cheat, you can text the other parties to call you back.
The fun part is in sending text in novel manner in addition to sending it through the app in the cell (like textNow).
You can type out long articles on full size keyboard and send text to many parties instead (via easy copy/paste operation) after logging on with your desktop, laptop or netbook (Linux or Windows) to your account at TextmeUp.com
On the desktop you can see all contacts and previous text to each of them. And you can text them wherever you are (worldwide) on your desktop/laptop

The web access (from browser) is textmeup.com. The app I have installed in textme. Get a free local # first on your cell. The two are probably the same. Test sound quality by calling in that new number ( free). Do not call out yet.

Thank you! So, how is textme up app different from plain textme? It allows for more functionality , like multiple international numbers etc?danieltoronto wrote: ↑Jul 17th, 2017 8:26 amThe web access (from browser) is textmeup.com.

1. textme is the app. If you type textme.com, it is somebody else that has no relation which causes a bit of confusion.
