That's pretty good. It's 1.5GB more than this one at a bit less  
for $50 with luckymobile.ca

    Unlimited Calls Canada-wide & to the US
    Unlimited Canada-wide & International Texts
    8GB Data at 3G speeds
    8.5GB when you register for Automatic Top-Up

    Also included: Unlimited Incoming Calls & Texts from
    Canadian, US & International numbers, call display,
    voicemail, call waiting and 3-way calling.

The "unlimited incoming calls from US and International" sounds  
generous.   ;)  That's not what Koodo is offering though.

I'm with Lucky's $40/mo offering which is:

    Unlimited Canada-wide calls
    Unlimited Canada-wide & International texts
    4.5GB Data at 3G speeds + 500 MB of bonus data every month with Automatic Top-Up
    Unlimited additional data at reduced speeds of up to 128
    Kbps for email, light browsing and messaging once you have
    exceeded your allotted 3G data.

    Also included: Unlimited Incoming Calls & Texts from
    Canadian, US & International numbers, call display,
    voicemail, call waiting and 3-way calling.

There's the rub. Do you need up to 13GB data and sacrifice  
inter-provincial and US calling/text?

At this very moment, I only have 480MB left (out of my original  
5GB) and 8 days to go before my next pay-cycle begins with a new  
5GB available.   :(   When the data gets down so low near the  
end of my pay-cycle, it's hard to do even modest website  
maintenace for the various charities that I help out with.

Freedom mobile might be the next best option: 10GB+ data and  
unlimited everything else starting at $60/mo
