Carrier
10th Jul 2008, 15:27
Most pilots, particularly those who are on call such as Medevac pilots, have a cell phone. All in Canada are being ripped off by predatory pricing.
A group of upset consumers and an MP (David McGuinty - Bill C555) both have on-line petitions attempting to partly remedy the problems. Both have received considerable media coverage in the last few days. Canadians should have the same GSM cell phone services at the same rates that Celtel and others provide in numerous countries in Africa. It is disgraceful that Canada lags far behind the Third World when it comes to cell phone services and pricing. For several years up until last year Carrier and Mrs C were satisfied pay-as-you-go customers of Celtel and MTN. When we returned to Canada our tri-frequency GSM cell phones were put into storage because Canada was unable to offer cell phone services of the standards and at the rates we were used to in several countries in Africa. Along with those who are promoting and have signed these petitions we would like to get this changed to bring Canada up to the level that consumers in most of the world have been receiving for many years.
These two petitions are open for signature until tomorrow. Please sign both and add your voice to the pressure for improved cell phone services at reduced rates that are comparable to those available elsewhere in the world. Please inform your friends and colleagues. The sites for signing are:
