I tried search but the first two pages of hits didn't match what I wanted.
I am looking for a second phone and number to use for the hobby. My main objective is to keep my real name from being out in the ladies contact lists. Also, to keep a separate phone that I can hide from the SO.
I was using Speakout from 7-Eleven but with the end of 3G and my failure to keep my minutes topped up, it no longer works or accepts top up. I had a piece of crap old text only phone anyway so good riddance. However, I still have over $100 against that account so getting back in with them with a phone that gets along with their service would be nice. The number of 7-Eleven stores has dropped massively since I started the hobby, so buying minutes there has turned out to be a pain.
I looked at my local mall (Upper Canada) and there seems to be lots of providers. Rather than sort through them all, I thought I would ask the brethren here for their recommendations.
Cost is not my primary issue. I was spending $25 every 3-5 months or so with Speakout top ups but that was text only so when an SP replied with an emoji or similar, the phone went crazy. Going forward, I will be using a more modern phone, preferably an iphone but I can switch if that is a deal breaker. The plans all seem to be in the $30/month range for the activity I will be using it for (hobbying). I don't need high speed or massive data. I just text SP's with the occasional voice call with them.
Dollarama is selling Lucky Mobile sims, I was also curious about that approach.
Thoughts?
