Video calling and internet for three whole months? You already have decent wireless Internet plans in the US, we're still waiting.

Does the video calling work with anything other than other trapped phones? Could you use it to call someone on a PC? Do we need more proprietary video phones?

Considering they want to talk people into a three year plan, details are amazingly sketchy. Does the phone really include a memory card option? Or are you stuck downloading 13MB at a time "exclusively" from Rogers?

This looks like another proprietary trap to me, Rogers and Samsung's version of the iPhone, in a cheesy locked in way.

Give me real internet, a real mobile handheld computer, or give me... a 5 year old basic phone!

Does the Cingular/ATT North America Cell Phone Plan still exist?
Are there any other Cell Phone Companies that offer North America Cell Phone Plans?

Cingular/ATT, Verizon, Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile in the US
and
Telus/Mike, Rogers or Bell in Canada?

And what are their Rates?

Right now I am with Telus/Mike* (iden Network) and I pay after all fees and taxes $60/m (CDN) for

- 350 Daytime Minutes
- Unlimited Evening and Weekends - 6pm start
- Unlimited Free Incoming Calls
- VoiceMail, Call ID, Call Waiting, 3way Calling, Call Forwarding 3000 mins - all included

* This just covers my local call area in Windsor, Surrounding Area and Metro Detroit. Area Codes
519,226 in Canada, 313,248,586,810,734 in USA

Is there similar plan out there that covers North America?
(specifically Canada and USA - No Roaming and No Long Distance, while Making or Receiving calls from Either Country)

Preference Network would be GSM
Preference Price* would be $60-$150 *on the North America Plan (Canada and USA)
Preference Features would be similar to what I got right now with Telus/Mike

Are there any Cell Plans Out There? What are the Monthly Prices?...For people who need North America Cell Phone Service in Canada and the USA without paying outrageous roaming or long distance costs and/or resorting to phone cards or prepaid throw-away phones?

Thank-you

BTW, I got video calling / video on demand terms backward. But what future is there in this implementation of video calling? I guess they expect me to talk everyone I know into switching to Rogers. Hah.

You must live in a cave!!! I got friends in the states that have unlimited long-distance to all of North America and a great data plans. It's no wonder everyone down there can check their e-mails without selling their souls, unlike over here where you start checking a few movies and a little bit of weather, you’re running a pretty hefty bill. Don’t start even start with Bell, those guys are basically mooching off Telus, if Telus ever decided to pull the plug, Bell would be on it’s knees. We all know that Rogers owns Fido, and that Virgin just buys massive amounts of minutes from Telus (Again if they were to ever pull the plug, Virgin would be dead)…I smell Oligopoly. Don’t even get started on the rates they get in Europe or Asia. I picked up a sim card down in China and got cheaper long-distance to Canada than I would in Canada…Go figure. THANKS CANADA!!!
