It's not the best one... and it's twice as expensive as FIDO to boot!

They got the wider coverage but very expensive and the phones sound bad. My
sister got one ant every time she called me I can tell she talk on the cell.
Before she was with fido and it was way better. She won't do it again but
she needed a phone and was lured with the phone with six months included
"deal" but it cost her way more than buying another phone at full price from
Fido.
If you don't need deep woods coverage don't go with bell. I rather want a
good phone that's work 90% of the time than paying twice with a crappy phone
for the other 10%.
Telus got the same rural coverage as bell now since the made a deal to
exchange their towers. You better go with them if you really need coverage
since they will give you about the same package as Fido. But since they use
the same system as Bell the phones sound as awful.

Bell advertises $35/month plans, but i think they offer $25/month as well.
I was actually in the fido kiosk at a mall a few days ago. The mall has 2
floors. I asked the guy how much for the v60i, he said $25. Not bad right!
Then I ask him hows the reception. (this is from the fido guy by the way) He
said that upstairs where we were, it should be okay, but downstairs, which
is the ground floor, its not under ground or anything, he said their might
not be reception.
How can you not get reception in a mall that sells the service!
People say the reception is good, people says its bad. Theirs got to be some
sort of catch if they sell a $250-300 phone for $25!

There aren't anymore $25 plans except mates and corporate plans. The $35
plan is basically a $25 plan including 20 calls of unlimited duration to any
one number you choose, SAF and 911 included, plus no activation fee.
So basically right now you can get a phone for $125, no contract, no
activation fee, 200 minutes anytime, plus 20 calls to a number you choose
for $35 plus tax.
If a contract isn't a issue, phone is free in store, and you can get the $45
plan for $35. 100 daytime plus free evenings and weekends, four months of
unlimited airtime plus touch base feature.

I don't know what mall, which city you are talking about, all I know is that
Fido sucks when it comes to reception even in the city, heck what do you
need a cell phone for, if not for reception, to show off ??

You don't even say what city! I think you're just trolling.

Statements like that only make you look like an idiot.
