i suggest start her off with a decent phone and a speakout account, $25 plus tax topup, good for 365 days, good for roughly 3 calls 2 minutes each per month($25/12 equals $2.25 each month less the service fee of $1.25)Mariaa17 wrote: ↑ My mom had her landline for 30+ years with bell and Rogers cable and internet but we officially got her a bell bundle to save since Rogers wouldn’t go down. However due to her health I was thinking after this contract is up maybe getting her a cell phone. Is it possible to get the same number? Or does a bundle get tricky to cross over ?
Thanks In advance
If going with Speakout, keep an eye out for one of their bonus top up promotions. They used to have a lot of buy $100 get $25 free promos. You get a bigger bucket once and just top up with the $25 as needed or annually.
yep, i've been topping up for the neighbour and have about 4 extra SIM cards in my piggy bank. This year I got her the telus talk and tex 100 plan with unlimited incoming as a Christmas present and weaned her off the speakoutROYinTO wrote: ↑ If going with Speakout, keep an eye out for one of their bonus top up promotions.

I got one years ago when I first signed up and use it for my burner / kijij phone. I've never had to top up more than $25 a year since and still have a lot left over "in case".
i don't know how they do it now but when I ported my home # to voip.ms, all they wanted was the name of the account holder and the account number, but that was a while agoMulder and Scully wrote: ↑ When you port a land line to wireless, how does the new wireless provider confirm that the number is yours? Like with wireless to wireless ports a text message will be sent to the owner to confirm. What happens with land lines?
This is how they still do it.
