Hey all
I've only been in Toronto for 4 days now and am looking for a cell phone. Most of the regular plans from Bell require a credit history which obviously I do not have.
I can go for a pre-paid plan, but that's expensive (unless I make calls very infrequently in which case having the phone is meaningless) and for pre-paid plans, even incoming calls get charged.
Any suggestions for someone who's new and who does not yet have a credit history?
You can try other companies, Telus, Rogers, Fido, Virgin.
When I was new, I got phone with $200 deposit with contract from Telus, Rogers were asking for $1000 deposit then. Go for short contract if you want flexibility though you may not get free phone.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
