So far based on the info that we have, the only catches are that
there's a $50 administration fee to set up the plan, and that you get
billed $0.20/min if you're outside of the "city" zone.

If they travel extensively in Canada other than in their local area
they might find standard plans more useful to them as they wouldn't
pay the 20 cent roaming charge.  It also depends on your calling
habits.  I haven't had traditional wireline service for almost a year
and a half and have never gone over my allotted minutes.  Then again I
don't gab on the phone and make the majority of my "social" calls on
the weekend when I have unlimited calling anyway.  Even with my
unlimited weekends I rarely use more than 200 minutes during the
weekends per month.

Why was I not informed abou this training session?

Bulletproof

If you have DSL service, you need to stay with a normal landline (at least for
now) to keep the landline "powered".

In practical tersm, if you do speak hours on end, your batteries will quickly
wear out, unless you buy a fixed base that powers phone without batteries and
provides POTS service to your regular phones in the house.

Otherwise, if you are a family with 3 phones in the home, ditching those 3
phones fopr a single cell phone wouldn't be good. What happens when dad brings
the cell phone with him to the supermarket, but wife at home no longer has any
phone ? When dad needs to talk to wife about whether to buy Tide or Sunlight,
he can't reach the wife.

So this plan sounds perfect for young urban professionals without kids (DINKs)
who may each have their own fido phone and don't really need a landline.
