DAMN THis is LAVA HOT! Only if they were to offer this to the people living in the centre of the universe

I want this plan but in Atlantic canada

[nivek_k2020]

So the only way to get this plan is with a Tbay postal code?

And at a Tbay store, apparently.

What's stopping me from giving them a random postal code in Tbay? I just need to change my billing type to e-bills and I doubt there will be any issue changing postal codes after?

OK Guys, so if we get about 100 RFD'rs and rent a $500/month place for the address, we all can pay $5 extra per month for the first 1-2 months until everyone switches to online billing/ports number. This is a completely viable solution.

I'd jump on that haha. Soooo who's moving to Thunder Bay for the good of all us RFDers?

Guys,you can pick an address in TB, change address on CC for sign up purposes and once you sign up switch back

You won't pass the credit check if you did this as a new client.

If this works, it is borderline activation fraud in Bell's eyes.

How does the $10/GB confirm this? While you are correct that the plan does not explicitly state it is shareable, it doesn't say it's not either. The shareable plans also have $10/GB overage and on the data share page (http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Promotions/Data_share_plans) it says "Choose a Voice & Data plan with at least 1 GB of data for your smartphone, then share the data with your tablet and/or Turbo Stick for an additional $10/month per device." and this plan is a "Voice & Data Plus plan" with at least 1 GB of data. If this works I think the deal is burning hot:
iPhone 5 + GTA area code (TBay postal for the sign up I guess)
iPhone 4 + tablet SIM + dellvoice
Total of two accounts, unlimited voice & text, 3GB each for $35/month and a free iPhone 5, it doesn't get any better than that.

Go to any non Tbay plan and look at the details. Within the plan, you'll see the $10 / GB overage -- then read the fine print, you'll notice shareable overage is billed / MB -- this is standard for all the carriers (shareable overage rate is some exorbitant rate).

E.G.:
Additional data for share versions of Fab 10 Promo 50 plans: $0.15/MB
Additional data for share versions of plans (excluding Fab 10 Promo 50): $0.05/MB

Any plan that is data share compatible will have something along those lines under it.

not really. I am willing to change my D/L and CC info, just so that I can port 4 lines in. In Bell's eyes, that's f money

not random, you need to update your Credit Card and D/L records to your new Thunder Bay address, do paperless billing and once you leave the store with the phone and plan, call in your CC and change the address back to your regular address, go to MTO and change your address back to your regular address. No fees involved. and call Bell/Virgin and change the billing address or keep it but have paperless billing. Voila!

Can all that be done online somehow?? Changing you DL address might take some time and would be a hassle
