Now Koodo pre-paid has a base unlimited text only plan for $15 per month and you can add a data and/or voice plan that does not expire until the data or minutes are used up as long as you keep the base plan current. So theoretically you could subscribe to the base plan, purchase a booster data plan for $35 which gives you 1G of data, if you use the data only for Fongo, you would have 2000 minutes which will not expire until you have used up all of your data. (1g/.5mb per minute=2000 minutes) Please correct me if my math is off base. I am not a techy and not guaranteeing anything, but I do not see how Fongo can work on the post-paid and not pre-paid.
Thanks for the info - much appreciated!
I should correct my earlier post as i forgot i recently switched from prepaid monthly to 35 cents/minute pay as you go. I use very little talk minutes/text each month from this account as i only use if needed when away from wifi. Each month there is about $10.00 of the minimum $15.00 i must top up with "left over" which "expires" meaning, Virgin is getting "$120/year" "free" from me
I could top up with $100 (good for 365 days) but they still get $40 free. If everything works over data, then i should just get a data plan to give myself more value for my money as long as that data plan isn't too expensive. Prepaid data on Virgin is $35.00/month for just 500MBs
Even though i don't need Wind's $40/month plan which gives you pretty much everything including "unlimited data" (throttling after 5 GB but no extra charges), i see more "value" here than what i have now.
Only thing i've found so far in my current "spending" price for data is the 7-11/Petro Canada data plan and only browsing works on it. Dell Voice, Skype, etc don't.
