Interestingly it looks like Sasktel is also joining the party but only on 1900.

But your plans seems to be more affordable than ours. $58 CAD gets you 130 mins talk time and unlimited data.

I'm paying 60 bucks for 100mins with 6GB data, but that's a retention plan, not advertised. Without negotiation you're probably looking at 90 bucks for the same thing.

I could care less, 670 isn't too bad. I'm used to non-subsidized prices.

i get 170 mins + unlimited data for $400 MXN (arround $30 CAD)
Iusacell - Para Ti
btw Iusacell sells the pre as well (just found out today)

[ToniCipriani]

Care to import a few for us?

EDIT: Actually IUSACELL is CDMA, so we need Telcel units... but if you still can help us get a few of those...

Ok, for those who contacted me via email and asked about the possibility of unlocking the Pre via carrier (under the argument of overseas travel) here's the answer they gave me:

"We are not allowed to unlock any phone even un-subsidized, it's in our policy"

Yeah sure, that's because they want to sell International Roaming Plans at exorbitant prices... Damn Telcel... >

So no, I can't provide you with unlock codes for these Pres.

If you are still interested, let me know.

Rayan

I'd love one. But I'm in Denver and since you can't do paypal........
