| - #109: I know how thrilled anyone is to go to a mobile phone store in North America because you know you will just get (insert term of endearment here) over. They always try to oversell on accessories for the new phone you were forced to buy that you did not need or want. Then, the plans, where does it end? It's an evil necessity; nothing like the experience I've had with Virgin Mobile, T-mobile, 3, Comviq in Europe which are more pay-as-you-go friendly (with great flexible, inexpensive plans).
That in mind, I recently visited the Chinook Centre location of Virgin Mobile (which runs on the Bell GSM Network in Canada as opposed to the Sprint CDMA Network in the US) to inquire about a plan for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition SM-P605 Phablet.
As it is, I use ROGERS voice/data, etc. for my Note 3 SM-N9005 since it's a corporate account but I was looking to have another account with a non-ROGERS provider to allow maximum coverage when I travel throughout Canada.
The representative recommended just using a data plan to augment the corporate account since I can still use Skype or other voip apps on my devices.
He was very thorough in explaining the month-to-month plan and it's tiered cost. The process took less than 10 minutes.
Within 10 minutes of that, I had service on my phablet.
It's almost like Virgin Mobile think it's not in North America or something. The experience is similar to what I receive in Europe. I'm not sure if we are allowed to mention specific people but the male representative whose name starts with an M is very knowledge and friendly. Is that TMI? OMG, LOL. Sorry, I was texting when I typing this review.
