After 8 long years with Rogers Wireless, finally recently i got myself my wireless connection with Bell Mobility with their new HSPA which is fully functional now. Being a subscriber for Voice & Data Plan for 36-months on their recently introduced Black Berry Bold (2) 9700 which is a fantastic cell phone with such great features that one really enjoys using it then its previous model Black Berry Bold 9000 which has so many defects the track ball was the biggest problem it used to get stuck-up often & its constrast and resolution is also bit weak then their new BB Bold 9700.
I was bit surprised to note when i called customer care of Bell Mobility that the company does not have any fixed plan or monthly package for sending International Text/SMS Messages for its Voice & Data customers? and the A La Carte Rates for sending Text/Sms Message out of North American given to me was bit rediculous and a total rip-off i.e. 0.35 cent per Text/SMS Message to other International Destinations.
Its high time CRTC should really make a note of such irregularities of such well known server companies who are just ripping-off their clients in all possible manner. Unknown phone companies like combwave, Raza.com, & many others offer calls to distant International Destinations for much lesser prices, & in some third world countries where their infra-structure of Cell Phone server companies is much lower, still they offer @. 5~.10 Cents for Text/SMS International Messages, whereas in Canada the rates are .35 Cents per Text!
Plus Bell Mobility being the oldest server company still does not have a fixed monthly package system for their own clients to send International Text Messages at a reasonable tarriff rates, which is really a big shock for a new subscriber, now i have to use other channels to send my international text messages at much cheaper cost then using my BB Bold 9700 causing me so much of inconvenience for their high and mighty attitude. Overall my experience with all 3-Big Giant Server Companies is not at all satisfactory as they charge their clients the highest billing rates in whole of North America, & still there is no accountability to correct their irregularities in their old tarriff rates & bring it to par with other countries of the world.
