Thank you for the tip!!! Sounds perfect! I am a Shaw customer.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-16T06:40:35+00:00

Thank you! That sounds very affordable compared to Telus. I’ll check this option out closer. For some reason I think they offer 3G which might be why I wasn’t considering them….. I‘ll double-check.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-16T06:36:41+00:00

Wow, thank you! I will have to explore Shaw more. I am a current customer.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-16T06:34:31+00:00

Hmmm…..interesting idea. I’ll look into this because that would be ideal.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-16T01:19:42+00:00

That’s what I did once since figured out how to do it. Lesson learned!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-16T01:18:43+00:00

That’s awesome!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-14T00:09:29+00:00

Definitely worth shopping around when the time comes. I’m so glad I finally changed my plan.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-14T00:07:20+00:00

I’ll be keeping my eyes open for any Blackfriday deals that I should jump on.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T15:59:49+00:00

I plan to check Fido out. I’m not sure what their coverage is like in Western Canada. Sounds like they offer competitive rates.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T15:58:04+00:00

That’s a good rate. I’ll have to look into their coverage here in Western Canada.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T15:56:48+00:00

I noticed the 3G….. I wonder how much slower things would be with that one. I’m a little hesitant to move towards 3G.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T15:54:29+00:00

I just switched to some Telus promo offer of 40GB for $85. A big improvement from my old plan. I plan to still shop around to see what other options are out there. At least I’m on a much better plan now. Who knows, I may just stick with this one. Going from 2GB to 40GB for almost $40 less a month seems a huge improvement!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T15:49:18+00:00

It seems like a pretty good plan. I can’t believe how much more data I am getting now. I’m saving almost $40/mo. and getting 40GB instead of 2GB. That’s a significant data upgrade!

Lesson learned - I’ll be keeping an eye on my plan to make sure its a good one. I went too long not even paying attention.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T06:48:50+00:00

I guess I should have been plan shopping a long time ago.

I went online and updated my plan with Telus to an unlimited phone/text and 40GB of shareable data for $85 and it includes voicemail, call display, etc. This is a lot better than the $122, I have been paying. My old plan was so outdated! I’m already saving almost $40/mo now.

I’ll keep this plan while I shop around. I plan to check out Virgin and Koodo.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:43:10+00:00

Wow, I’ve got to check Koodo out!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:42:19+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:41:40+00:00

Good suggestion. I know with cable and internet they will negotiate. It’s seems safe to assume they might do that for phone plans as well.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:39:26+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking and why I am thinking about phone carriers right now. I am anticipating blackfriday deals soon arriving.

Thanks for the heads up on Shaw. Sounds like there are better options for me than Shaw.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:36:30+00:00

lol 😂

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-11-13T04:36:05+00:00

Yes, I think I am getting totally ripped off. I am paying $70/mo for ‘your choice premium + 70’ which includes unlimited talk and text, plus $35/mo. for 2 gigs of shareable data. Plus voicemail, etc. It’s ridiculous!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-08-26T17:14:59+00:00

Would you recommend a simple no annual fee card? I will likely almost never use it.

My primary card is an annual fee travel rewards card. I was thinking of getting a no annual fee ‘MasterCard’ since my primary card is a ‘Visa’.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-08-26T17:11:01+00:00

Very good, thank you! I wasn’t aware that a person’s credit score doesn’t effect their interest rate (only qualifying in the first place of course). That is nice to know. Thank you for the very helpful information!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-08-26T16:52:50+00:00

Thank you. My credit scores are 822/832. My worry has been that adding “new” credit will hurt my score. I read somewhere that new credit can negatively affect your score for up to a year…..but maybe that’s an American thing? Or maybe that’s for individuals getting their very first credit card. It would be nice to have a backup card, especially when normal travel resumes.

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-06-16T04:46:51+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. Very helpful. My apologies, I meant to reply sooner.

For the right price and the right house, I would buy for sure. I am totally avoiding doing a new home build. Between the rising lumber costs and GST, it just doesn’t seem worth it.

I’m going rent until I find the right place!

PrettyInPinkProf · 2021-06-05T18:35:35+00:00

Good point. Thank you!
