PetroCan Works Fine For Me
Thanks to this forum, I decided to look more carefully at my Rogers cell costs. So I took 30 minutes and punched up 12 Rogers invoices. Quite revealling.
I included all Rogers costs -- every weaselly one of them except taxes. Total of $ 458 per year.
Despite being on their lowest-cost plan, my useage was so low that per-minute costs were between 19¢ and $3.04, depending on the month. They averaged 77 ¢ per minute over the year.
Now, I pay 25¢ per minute. I check PetroCan's web site for usage every once in a while, and every so often I top up the PetroCan account with $ 100. Costs are about $ 150 per year (I haven't done much arithmetic on it since seeing that I was actually paying Rogers 77¢ per minute).
Your results may vary, and it all depends on your usage patterns and volume.
Call quality and coverage is fine -- since PetroCan uses Rogers' network.
