Cancel your system access fee
If you use a cell phone in Canada, it’s very likely that you’re paying a monthly $6.95 system access fee. Imagine if you didn’t need to pay it?
From the whispers I’ve heard, there are a few new phones in Canada and while no one in Africa is talking about these things, I recently dropped my phone in a giant vat of a soupy Kenyan dish called sukuma wiki. Long story short, I’ll be shopping for something new when I get home in a week and a half.
There is a bill in Parliament right now called Bill C-555 (AKA the Get Connected Fairly Act) that seeks to outlaw system access fees from cell phone bills as well as, like Belgium and some other countries, outlawing the locking of cell phones to one provider or another.
This could be a big step for mobile communication in Canada.
If anyone has a suggestion on what should be my next phone, please let me know! Extra points will be given for originality For example, an awesome wifi-enabled phone that was released 1-2 years ago might excite me more than the new kid on the block that is currently sold out. My last phone was the SE w810i. It was a pretty small phone but could do so much.
