I Figured Out The BEST CELL PHONE PLANS In Canada!

[@kalebasnake9127]

This video is so long for a specific information I wanted to know, which is what is your best cell phone plan in Canada. I am really getting bored if anyone figured out what his best cell phone plan please type it out.

[@BoBandits]

I have Freedom, recently they offered $50 100gb unlimited voice text across Canada and USA

[@basejumping2424]

@@BoBanditsI’m on that same plan

[@preuvevivante7464]

I would have preferred a more concise straight to the point video. People are looking for solution, not unnecessary details, with all due respect for having tried.

Koodo

KZbin videos need to be a certain length to generate enough money for the creators. Precise videos are not worth making for KZbinrs.

[@TurkeysLeg]

​@@nilavaghatak This video was 7 minutes past the necessary length for the ad revenue criteria.

[@mateofernando5066]

FYI, Koodo offers their users 4G LTE service only not 5G. Hence, you get what you paid for if speed and performance are not the main criteria for your choice of cell phone providers.

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

Canada is big but 98% of people are living in very narrow band of cities and land very close together, this argument is used for many many other lack of infrastructure (like lack of trains, public transit and even bike lanes and housing) which dose not make sense since the density of many places in canada is enough to provide those services. these kind of stupid excuses are good for politicians to not invest in public services

[@BenDurham]

Oh man, you have that right! My next video is about city density and Douggie's plans to hop over Toronto's Greenbelt to SPRAWL MOREEEE

[@petehboy2]

Why does canada require physical sim for many prepaid

[@Matt_CowboyCA]

I’ve been with Koodo, Telus, bell, Roger’s, Fido, public and freedom. For me, freedom has been the best recently as they have nationwide even in their subscription zones. Which means if you’re in a freedom covered area but there’s a dead spot, you will roam on the partner networks for free. I also got a fantastic deal, $29 for 50gb CANADA US, 5g. Even the epp plans through bell Telus and rogers cannot beat that.

[@Ryan420zz]

Same here, 100gb for 55 bucks for me and 29 bucks for my kids plans, plus a phone on contract all for 134 a month lol

[@EbNorth]

​@@Ryan420zzyah, I have that plan, But I'm about to change the bell I think. They have for the same price $55, 200 GB.

[@Ryan420zz]

@@EbNorth that's a good deal, I got their fiber internet for a huge discount and it's slowly been going up in price every bill so I'm skeptical at how long you will have that price for, they slowly up things 2 to 5 bucks a month until it's at full price witch is not cool

[@EbNorth]

@@Ryan420zz wait, so they can change the price of my potential two year contract? Btw, I have two phone lines. My other is with T-Mobile (USA), Canadians are allowed to open accounts and have plans. I'm on a family plan my entire family has T-Mobile. Also We can use it anywhere in the world and its unlimited data. My other is freedom, which I'm potentially gonna switch over to Bell.

[@AGent0pting0ut]

Fonus is bar far the best option

[@ScottG0617]

As a Canadian who recently moved to the U.S. im shocked at the price difference between the 2 for phone plans. MINT MOBILE has a basic 5GB plan with unlimited call and text and free roaming in canada for $15 a month, and you can pay for any of their plans in 3, 6 or 12 month in advance... so you pay one time and don't worry about it until your next batch of months 15 dollars a month.... lol

[@mateofernando5066]

Everything in the USA is on average 30% cheaper than in Canada, with the exception of health insurance and housing in the 3 largest cities: NYC, San Francisco and Los Angeles

[@rodchallis8031]

No expert me, but when it comes to things like phones and cars and such I think most people go shopping backwards. Instead of seeing what's on offer, the best way is to carefully consider what you ACTUALLY need first. I know that sounds very obvious, but I swear most people don't do that. I use a cell phone differently than a lot of people. Very basic. I don't claim I've found the most cost effective and least evil company, "pay as you go" suits me just fine. Others who by the nature of their work or family situation need something less basic. Comparison is very difficult. I think the best thing that ever happened to Canadian Communications Cartels is Loblaw's rather inept Public Relations over the past few years. Taken our minds off an industry that used to be the national leader in ripping Canadians off.

[@BenDurham]

I love the way you put "shopping backwards." I might steal that for a future video 😅 I agree with pretty much everything you said!

[@chrisrmstrng]

Watch this at 1.5 or 2x speed

[@BenDurham]

Great idea, actually! A lot to cover 😅

[@greghynek9804]

Even within the cities and towns mobile signals are just awful there are severe weak spots. at times goes down to 3G shown on the phone. Signals are terrible in Canada compared to other countries. Airports from downtown to the suburbs etc

[@Patrick-Snow]

The prepaid plans are the cheapest. Lucky Mobile is essentially cheaper Bell without the sneaky " We will raise your bill by $3." every 3--6 months. I imagine Chatr is the Rogers equivalent.

[@captinzoom]

I like freedom if you are bringing your one phone. Very affordable and nice amount of data in package. If you're with a big guy it miybe worth it for the bundle option or ease for parents

[@BenDurham]

Whatever works for you! I was tempted by freedom but ultimately stayed with Koodo

[@shanthom48]

Yes, but the reception is crap and their online payment system is garbage

[@BenDurham]

@@shanthom48 but that's the thing, we've always had good reception with Koodo all across Ontario and the online payment isn't something we have to touch once you've setup auto-payments. 🤷‍♂️ different experiences, I guess

[@frale777]

Came across this video looking for best plans. My girlfriend uses public mobile and she, more recently, started having numerous dropped calls. Sure she will laugh to know it's not her older model phone and more likely the carrier.

[@bobmunck976]

Sorry I gave up at 7:07. I don't care about the size of Canada or what companies have so many users.

[@BenDurham]

All's good but it's good to learn about why things are the way they are 👋

[@Lumpsum123]

Are you kidding? Vid is so painfully loooooooong. Thanks

[@BenDurham]

@@Lumpsum123 skip through it, if ya want! You're on the internet. You've got da power!

[@capnkirk5528]

Hmmm. "KUDOS" to you for this video, and YES the pun was intended. It was VERY WELL DONE. And should be useful to a BUNCH of people, as the advice was very correct. And you ARE right, speaking as someone who knows WAY MORE than the average person about cell phones, coverage, plans, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), VoIP, routing, gateways ... yeah those last few should be a giveaway that I have some specialized industry experience in networking and communications. (Being responsible for a half-million plus of corporate cell spend tends to cause that). BEFORE this video I would have said Canadians are getting hosed by the "BIG THREE" and the CRTC. NOPE, I STILL DO. It's not nearly as bad as it was, though ... but it could be LOTS better. Yes, effective costs have dropped a lot - Ben is ABSOLUTELY right, my Wind bill has been $25 / month FOREVER. Even as the costs to provide ALL the services I use have dropped overall, which SHOULD have lowered the cost of my plan. But I also DON'T have a "landline" which cost ~$30 in 1980 and was NOT portable. That $30 would be $105 TODAY, so the $80 I am NOT paying while still having a working "home" phone is a savings. (And EVERYBODY had a landline in 1980, for a while in the 80's I had TWO so I could dial-in to work to support systems. My employer paid for the second via expense account).

[@debwaynewoodward1460]

Thank you for all your amazing info!! Now we can make an informed decision!!

[@BenDurham]

No problem! Glad to help :)

Koodo: $15 charge/customer service QUESTION?!

[@gill2769]

You are right about 30 mins call drops

[@BenDurham]

Unfortunately 😬🙃

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Please tell me Koodo isn't one of your options in the video. Absolute worst customer service. I hope they improve.

[@BenDurham]

Haven't needed their customer service except for when we switched back from Public Mobile. And each callback service was stellar! Haven't had any issues since switching back.

[@somethingsomething404]

I’ve been paying 4$ per month with fizz beta in Vancouver, but that’s about to go away

[@somethingsomething404]

The service was LTE VOIP and not good btw, missed calls often

[@DeVoNmotorsports]

Cost efficient plan may not be the best. security is about the only real thing you should worry about, your life, privacy, and well being may be a stake with a low budget or unauthorized provider

[@BenDurham]

Huh? You mean you don't think the phone that you carry is tracking your every action already lol?

[@DeVoNmotorsports]

​@@BenDurham well its a signal, it can be tracked, even when your phone is off with battery removed, it pings a code for GPS coordinates for a pretty long time I think, the problem is correct data acquisition for correct allocation to stop unauthorized use

[@BenDurham]

So what was your original content about?

[@exrayZap-ry1gh]

Man stop entertaining yourself and get to the point....

All's good, you can skip through the video. I just wanted to document this because I've told this story to too many people, too many times. Now I can just send them this video! 😜

This is far too long a video for the intended purpose. Showing me a map of Canada to explain that its a large country is a large waste of time. This video gets a D rating

It's definitely not a waste of time for me. All of this plays into the costs. Also the skipping through videos is 100% an option!
