I use Fongo as my main phone. I have the Fido Data only plan on my iphone, and use Fongo for calling and texting. Works great!. now my monthly bill is $35 a month and I get 5gb a month.
Me too. Also the best setup for international travel. As long as you have wifi or cellular data it’s like you never left, get all your calls to your main Canadian number. Straightalk wireless in the U.S. has tablet plans that work. I think it was $20 for 2gb. I’ll never go back.
I check occasionally to see if they have numbers outside of the lower mainland in BC. They never do so it’s useless to those who don’t live there.
I would like to hear more of Data only iPhone users, as I am am interested in whats the benefits and disadvantages are.
Its cheaper, and you don’t have to pay for all the features if you use fongo (calling minutes, Voicemail, call display etc).
If you travel, just pop in a sim card from another provider that has data, and you will still receive texts and calls from your main number
there are more, but those are the top ones.
