Hello paulie420!

 Og>> Anyone here using or is familiar with the Luckymobile service?
 Og>> https://luckymobile.ca

 Og>> New first time users can get 35GB data for 2 years at the
 Og>> $29 pricepoint

 p> Hmmm - this might be interesting, I use around 50-60GB a
 p> month. Hmmmmmm. I know Mint Mobile is a good alternative,
 p> but I'm still on Tmobile. Do you use the service??? How is
 p> it for youtube streaming on the network?

Yes.. I've been with luckymobile.ca for several years.  
Throughout the years the prices and data combos seemed to be  
improving (ie. more data for the buck). They were the first  
mobile service to offer "unlimited" (albiet, throttled) data -  
and that is why I leaped to them after my first foray was with  
Rogers. Prior to that, my first access to mobile was with the  
Roger's Stick.

Rogers offered something like $30/mo for 2GB, 2G speeds, and  
then overage/additional data was priced on a tiered basis in  
500MB chunks or something like that. I used a local datausage  
counter and tried to always below a certain amount to avoid  
extra charges.

Then I just happend to hear about luckymobile.ca from a friend.  
And.. for the same amount of money I was paying for Rogers, I  
could get more data and unlimited 3G data (throttled to 128Kbps  
max)  ..and that seemed amazing compared to anything else out  
there at the time.

The luckymobile service was incompatible with the Roger's Stick  
device (even when I unlocked it) since 2G was not supported.  
So.. I happend to have a Blackberry that wasn't being used for  
anything except photos and wifi, and decided to try  
luckymobile.

It worked really well, considering that my rural home location  
was somewhat remote from most of the other towers in the area.  
But one tower was basically due north from some large windows  
in the home, and that was perfect.

Some other competitively priced mobile services do *not*  
provide unlimited/throttled data unless you enter around the  
$45/mo pricepoint. But the latest luckymobile plans seem to be  
the best they have offered to date compared to the others here:  
Publicmobile, Chatr, Virginmoble, Bell..

That is why I decided to give a shoutout about this. Maybe  
someone would like to be aware of an alternative.
