[P-51]

Well, when I leave the old job on Thursday, I have to give my cell phone back, and the new job doesn't provide one. I think I should get one for myself so the wife who's staying in Windsor for the time being can reach me whenever she needs.

I might consider just getting a cell phone, and not hooking up a land line at my apartment in TO.

But to do that, I need FREE evenings so I can talk to her.

Now, I've heard that these "free" evening and weekend plans aren't really free? They're only free if they're local? And my brother said that if she calls ME, long distance, it's still an extra charge on the cell phone, even though she's paying a long distance charge on the land line to make the call?!? Is that true? :blink:

What about service. I'll be working in Woodbridge, and living somewhere around GTA or Barrie. Who has good coverage there?

We currently have a "digital bundle" with Bell, for our land line, long distance, internet and satellite TV. We save money that way. I think we save even more if we get a Bell cell phone too. How is there coverage?

Lastly, I'd like to avoid locking into a 2 year plan, which I think is usually required to get the free handset? If I have a 5 year old Nokia hand set, can I just go month by month with a company for that?

Sorry for the newbie questions, I've only had one cell phone, and work paid all the bills.
