Does This Verizon Plan Help Us Canadians?

[Faceleg]

Has anyone seen the Verizon "America's Choice with Canada Plan"?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=planFirst&action=viewPlanList&catId=930

The Family Share plans are even more cost effective (I have four users in mine, and travel/call frequently to the US).

For voice, it APPEARS that there is no long distance or roaming within and between US and Canada. Then add unlimited data for $50, with data roaming at .002/kb. I called a CS rep and they said that's right (and ignore the generic fine print that says roaming @ .69/min).

So one could theoretically open a US verizon account and use the BB (or other phones) in Canada - for less than Rogers or Telus hoses us now?

Please tell me if I'm reading/calculating correctly or if I'm nuts.

More proof that if Rogers and Bell/Telus don't get online with better plans. The US big companies will come here and force it upon them!

 

[jcaas07]

it is a commonly known fact that at&t has been buying up canadian cell phone numbers for years now, and lets not forget the still implied affiliation between rogers and att

 

[lovethatass99]

Why would AT&T buy up Canadian cell phone numbers?

 

[w_pooh87]

just guessing - but so they own them and can rent them back to Rogers/Fido/Telus etc

 

[Kit-Kat Jesus]

Didnt the Canadian government pass law that phones numbers could not be bought and sold in Canada or was I feed a load of crap?? However if IHateMyTero is right screw rogers because they hose me day in day out and I am sick of shelling out loads of money for a flippin cell phone.
