Doodad • Joke of the Day
DOODAD "is an international SIM card that gives simple, cheap data roaming in 54 countries (and growing) at great, flat rates."
Cheap? Compared to what? Quote:
(I suppose compared to what Canadian carriers charge for roaming it is... :roll: ) |
What is a good Prepaid data rate in Canada for data?

I thought this post was spam. But no, it is about financial disaster. Thanks for bring this to our attention. Just curious, what is a good Prepaid data rate in Canada for data? |
Not a lot of choice. You can get a SpeakOut or PetroCanada SIM for $10, load some money into it and get what they call "Unlimited Mobile Browsing" for $10/month. UMB lets you browse, e-mail and a few other things but it's not unrestricted data. So VoIP won't work for example. (You get around most of that with a proxy or VPN...)
But my reference to Canadian carriers and foreign roaming fees was intended to make Doodad's pricing look good. See e.g. Dad gets $22,000 data roaming 'shock' from Fido and Dad talks $22,000 cellphone roaming charge down to $200 These sorts of charges aren't unusual when Canadians take their carrier-locked phones outside Canada. |

$0.90 per MB is certainly *NOT* cheap by any stretch of the imagination! I am guessing that his SIM is using a US Roaming Profile - hence the ridiculously high data costs! |
