Right now there is a great deal on Presidents Choice pay-as-you-go cellphones. I received a coupon in the mail for $20 off any cellphone. They start at $39 for a fairly basic LG model up to $99 for a Krazer. They also had a coupon in-store for a free $10 gift card with a cellphone purchase. So I was able to purchase the basic model cellphone for $21 (that's with tax) with the coupon and also received a $10 grocery card bring my actual cost down to $11. I bought my phone at Zehrs, but I think they sell them at Loblaws and Superstore as well.
I already have a PC cellphone, the new one is for my DH. I have been very pleased with the service. I keep a cellphone mainly for emergencies and I really don't use a ton of minutes so the PC one has been great. I buy a $25 card every 2 months so basically my cell costs me $12.50 a month.
