A Brief Inventory of My Cellphones (to be updated)

In Use

• LGE Nexus 5 - my main phone, Bell monthly, unlocked
  
• LGE Nexus 4 - my main prepaid, Bell, unlocked
  
  
  
• Nokia X2-01 - my minor prepaid, Fido, locked
  
  
  
• Sony Ericsson Arc - Fido monthly, unlocked - Roommate T
  
• Motorola G - Fido monthly, locked - Roommate L
  
  
  
• Samsung i757 - Virgin monthly, unlocked - given to friend W
  
• Samsung SGH-S275M - locked to Bell, plan allows sharing - given to friend J
  

As you can see, I have given phones to friends and roommates for their use. I plan to put my Bell prepaid on the Bell shared plan when the tab on it expires in February 2015. Even though the prepaid plan expires on July 15, 2015, it is cheaper to put it on a monthly plan. Since my debt to Rogers is pending (about $1500 left to be paid), the Fido prepaid plan cannot be changed to postpaid (monthly). Out of Use

• Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro - locked to Fido - not in use due to limitations of speed and memory. This phone will have most of its apps removed to improve response times.
  
• Motorola W510 - locked to Fido
  
• Nokia 500 - locked to Mobilicity. Waiting for Wind or Telus someone to buy them out. That isn't happening so I am still waiting. :)
  
  
  
• Samsung A767 - unlocked
  
• LGE GT350 - unlocked
  
  
  
• NTT Docomo Aquos SH-13c - for use in Japan only, locked to NTT Docomo
  

** Information provided will change in the future.

Bell Canada has the Best Pay As You Go Deal

For $10.75 I can't go wrong, but need a Talk and Text plan to add to the data service since it costs 30 cents a minute for talk. While that will cause the price of a call to fall, the month service fee will rise.

If I just use my phone for data, then Bell dings me $10.75 a month. Even though it's a data lite plan (100 MB) I'll probably use it with wifi more often than the other smartphone.

Overall, i'm satisfied with the Pay As You Go because the phone part of the deal gives me a phone back up when I use my Samsung i757m.
