I usually keep data turned off on my phone (because Canada)

What does this mean? I'm in Canada and I've got data turned on virtually the entire time

As in "data plans are stupid-expensive here".

[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah fair enough. Yeah moving here from a country where unlimited data was around $3 a month was a shock. That said I get 40 GB for $50 a month with Koodo so I've never even come close to reaching my limit.

I'm really cheap when it comes to anything monthly. I only got a data plan really recently and it's bare minimum - before that I was paying $8/mo for just talk and text. I'm a luddite, I like owning stuff. I'd rather have an expensive phone and a cheap plan than the reverse, and at $40/mo a good deal but that's still pricier than a good phone after 2 years.
