Solo Mobile has been relaunched by its parent company, BCE. While it continues to offer a variety of contract plans, it now also offers two unlimited in-zone talk and text plans in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto.
“Solo has offered Canadian consumers great value on wireless since 1999 and we think these new Solo Unlimited plans will be a very popular choice for people who want the best deal around on talk and text,” said Blaik Kirby, Senior VP of Mobility Marketing for Solo. “The combination of these new plans with Bell’s great network and selection of phones means paying less to talk and text just got better.”
The Unlimited Talk 35 provides provides unlimited in-zone calling, unlimited province-wide calling for calls originating from within the zones, unlimited province-wide received text messages plus 50 sent text messages. Includes Call Display, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding and Three Way Calling. It costs CA$35 per month.
The Unlimited Talk & Text 45 includes unlimited in-zone calling, unlimited Canada-wide sent and received text messages, unlimited Canada-wide calling for calls placed from inside a zone, and voicemail. Includes Call Display, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding and Three Way Calling. It costs CA$45 per month.
I’m not sure that yet another brand offering exactly what others are offering really changes the Canadian wireless landscape but at least customers have another option to consider now when looking for a mobile phone.
