I suggest people who want real data to switch over to Koodo prepaid.
$15/month "base plan" which gives you unlimited texting
$35 upfront for 1GB of data that rolls over indefinitely as long as you keep renewing the base plan
$25 upfront for 500 minutes of Canada-wide calling (5c per minute - by far the cheapest prepaid voice service)
Basically your monthly payment is $15 (base plan) + $0.05/minute + whatever data you use
Compare this to Speakout's monthly cost: $10 (UMB) + $0.25/minute local + $0.50/minute long distance + $0.10/outgoing text + $1 (service charge)
Depending on your usage patterns, it could end up being cheaper than the old Speakout plan, plus you get real data instead of WAP. I've been using Koodo for a month now, and I have to say the experience with real data and unlimited texting is much better. $0.05/minute Canada-wide calling is also a huge improvement. I'm no longer hesitant to use my phone as a phone, as strange as that sounds.
