smart phone question

[Yoga Face]

just got a my first smart phone with mobilicity the provider

unlimited data and talk for $35 per month

question 1 why would anyone pay rogers over twice that amount and why would rogers own their own competition that undercuts themselves as they just bought mobilicity ?


question 2 do I need to have protection against viruses like I do with my home computer ?

1) Different people have different needs. The data coverage area for Mobilicity isn't as extensive as Rogers'. That's a deal breaker for some people. Rogers is trying to acquire as many customers as possible, and owning a company that provides a 'cheaper option' allows them to do that.

2) I would suggest installing AVG on your phone. You may never need it, but it can't hurt.

Simple answer is data speeds. Robbers, Bell/Telus are LTE and Wind is still on the slower 4G.

I was looking at M<obilicity. All of their "unlimited" services are for when you'rei n one of 5 metro centres in Canada, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver (I think). Everywhere else, the rates are extremely expensive.

these areaS WILL EXPAND NOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN BOUGT BY ROGERS

outside these areas there are roaming charges

my take is the speed is slower but that is of little concern unless you are a gamer
