[kwlug-disc] cell phone plans

[William Park]

I'm also using Samsung Galaxy S3 with cracked screen.  Hey, it still 
works.  I was with Rogers $5 prepaid plan, but Rogers is discontinuing 
their prepaid service in mid-Dec.  So, I signed up with Freedom Mobile 
$5/month prepaid plan (it's $10 regular, but $5 off promo).  Activation 
was simple, and phone number transfer was quick.  But, to get that $5 
promo ("Digital Discount"), I had to call in.

They have other "postpay" and "prepaid" monthly plans, which seems to be 
the same to me, and yearly plans.  Check them out.
