Hanging onto my discontinued skinny $46 12gb rollover plan. 

 

 

 

Nothing better out there, for now :)

Yawn. Boring and uncompetitive tbh. What’s with the “full-service” telco charging $10 for hotspot or capping it to 3gb?

 

Spark’s network and stuff is great, but man their plans and marketing suck. Such a shame. 

 

Totally agree. Was a pay-monthly customer for years and then realised their pre-pay plans were actually providing better options - which seemed weird that a telco wouldn't be providing the best options to customers they essentially had locked in and were getting predictable revenue from. In the end though, jumped ship to Skinny. Same network, hotspotting allowed

For those currently on the $59.95 plan there is no real point moving up.

 

 

 

 

How so? I'm on that plan with my wife.

 

$120 month goes to $104. Seams worth it for 5 mins on the phone with Spark (and 2GB/month extra, which I dont care about much, I never get close to my 12GB anyway)

idk paying $13.50 per month for 15gb of data and unlimited calls and texts is a lot more appealing price wise.

Why does hot spotting cost anything at all? You’re not using extra data, merely using your phone as an access point.

I can’t see any justification for charging even $1.
