Who is your provider, cherise?
The cell debate is an interesting one for sure. I read the other thread too about Verizon coming to cdn. I'm with Rogers and have been for a while. I'm also an island boy. Lived there my whole life. I have recently move to Vancouver and I've never had a coverage problem either on the island or main land.
Just got a new Rogers plan. It 50$ a month unlimited calling anywhere in North America and one gig of data. After tax my bill is 56 even period. Never more unless I go over my data.

telus and i would not recommend them unless you go pay as you go ....i wish i still was 45 /mth unlimited everything 10 extra for unlimited data
On my S4 you can look at settings/connections/data usage to see how much data you are using and when. It also lists all the apps that are using data and how much they are using. You can disable background data on the mobile network for individual apps. That results in background data only being acquired through wifi, unless you manually update. You can also set a data limit, as well as a warning level (for when you are approaching the limit).
So you can control that aspect if you use the tools supplied with the phone. If you don't, some apps will suck up a surprising amount of bandwidth.
I have unlimited minutes across Canada...I'm with Rogers, and I love my iPhone.
Yeah well here's some info for all you iphone lovers - you will never catch me within 10 ft of a mac product.
STEP 2: Prevent people from using this product against the State, by giving police the ability to shut off the phone from recording them.
STEP 3: Block any apps that would allow the device to be used to monitor the State monitoring you.
With widespread iPhone ownership established, Apple Inc. has patented a piece of technology which allow government and police to block transmission of information, including video and photographs, from any public gathering or venue they deem “sensitive”, and “protected from externalities.”
In other words, these powers will have control over what can and cannot be documented on wireless devices during any public event…
While the company says the affected sites are to be mostly cinemas, theaters, concert grounds and similar locations, Apple Inc. also says “covert police or government operations may require complete ‘blackout’ conditions.”
“Additionally,” Apple says,” the wireless transmission of sensitive information to a remote source is one example of a threat to security. This sensitive information could be anything from classified government information to questions or answers to an examination administered in an academic setting.”
Authorities and police can now use the patented feature during protests or rallies to block the transmission of video footage and photographs from the scene, including those of police brutality, which at times of major events immediately flood news networks and video websites.
Such a block would be activated by GPS, and WiFi or mobile base-stations, which would ring-fence (“geofence”) around a building or a “sensitive area” to prevent phone cameras from taking pictures or recording video.
Just as disturbing for civil libertarians, Apple has blocked a new app that would make people aware of the presence of drone surveillance.
Drones+, the latest endeavor from Brooklyn-based app developer Josh Begley, provides information from real and reputable news sources about executions conducted by unmanned, remote-controlled aircraft from high in the sky, the likes of which has become a hallmark of America’s wars abroad and has come with a daunting tally of deaths, both intended and collateral. At least it would do as much, that is, if Apple ever allows it to be available to iPhone users.

Android has iffy security's high too:

Kind of like the end of the dark knight with the cell phone room.
Android has a huge malware problem with malicious apps being able to send premium rate text messages and steal all your personal data without you knowing.
Each platform has it's flaws but I'd consider Android to be way less secure. If you need a malware scanner on your phone to make sure that someone isn't hijacking it that's a pretty serious problem.
As with any device you need to protect yourself.

there are others
Sure they all do, but if I'm getting my ass kicked by cops I'd like to be able to record it and post it on youtube lol
Since Android phones outsell iPhones worldwide, 70% Android to 20% iPhone, it is naturally going to be the Android O\S that malware writers will attack. iPhones had a very similar issue with Malware on the Apps store but have allegedly fixed that.
Yeah well when you get out and protest for murdered and missing women in this industry, sometimes the vpd ain't too nice about it.
Under a minute, sure I will watch it....and that was hilarious! And at 0:50 when he rips his shirt open...HA!!!
Pay as you go provider - think about CHAT-R.
It's actually FIDO/Rogers. Good network, clarity, coverage, srength.
Their province of BC coverage with unlimited calls is $25. Add unlimited text for $10 more.
I don't use data, but I assume folks are very different consumers of that.
CHAT-R offers a in-BC plan with unlimited talk and text to anywhere in Canada coverage, with 200MB data for $45.
Additional data is 10 cents per MB, and, yes, they alert you when you are running low.
Includes free voicemail.
One thing about prepay is that you cannot be overbilled.
