dear friends../

what is the minimum cost of mobile handset in canada../ is it adviceable to bring a set from india or buy there../

bye../

Buy a quad band unlocked phone with world/dual voltage charger from India. Phones here are not expensive, but you have to sign a contract with the service provider for 1 to 3 years to get it at a subsidized price. But the bad part of that is the phone is locked, so you cannot re-use the phone if you leave the provider. So if you do not want to be locked into a contract and just use a pre-paid, get one from there, the GSM models there are several compared to here.

There are large number of models in India.

Triband Nokia 3120 is a good buy, which is under Rs.4000.00. Link:
