Telus and Bell charging for incoming calls violates their contracts! And therfor their customers should be able to end their contracts without paying the ECF (early cancellation fee)

Also that thing Telus and Bell are saying about txting costing them too much, lets do the math.

1 minute of talking uses on average 480KB
That is almost half a MB (1024KB)

The maximum size of a txt message is 160 characters (140 bytes)

There are 1024 bytes in 1 KB

For one minute of talking using 480KB a minute, that equals out to a MINIMUM of 3429 txt messages!

Telus and Bell claim Canadians send 45 million txt messages a day.

Ok, so 45 million txts a day equals out to 13,123 minutes of calling a day, or 6.3GB a day of txt messages.

That is peanuts!

A 1 minute call is 20cents
A single txt message is 15 cents to send, and 15 cent for the reciever (30 cents total)

480KB of calling (1 minute) is 20 cents.
480KB of txting (3429) is $102.87 (5143.5 times higher than the cost of a call)


45 million txts a day at what they are charging now is 6.75 MILLION dollars a DAY!
And they want MORE? They want to double that!
13.5 MILLION a DAY!
