In addition to increasing the cost of air time, they are increasing the minimum deposit from $20 every 6 months to $25 every 4 months, an 87.5% increase. I have a cheap Petro Canada cell phone mainly because I use it so little that the minimum deposit is relevant to me. Thanks for the warning, Potato. I’ll be getting rid of this phone if I can find a better deal.

ReplyDeletePotato: I've fixed the link in my post. For some reason, when I direct my browser to your site, it turns the "nice" holypotato URL into the IP address in the location bar at the top of my (Firefox) browser. I also still can't navigate to your site from Google Reader because it has "/blog/blog" instead of "/blog" in the URL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! Have a good weekend.
