Canadians aware country is #1 in extreme, unfair mobile rates

Canada's Cell Phone Rates: the Highest in the World | iPhone in Canada Blog

My name is Ann Murray (not that Ann Murray), and I’m a publicist for RingCredible, the next practical, affordable, secure and reliable solution in mobile VoIP calling.  I’m writing to explain  how consumers can spend as little as possible on mobile calling charges each month  – and quickly hack their household mobile calls spending.

This topic is especially timely, given how Canada’s mobile rate calling rates are one of the world’s worst – and also given the recent acquisition of Mobilicity by Telus. [see link below CP]

Why the hefty price? This is the fault of “The Pricey Three” – Bell, Rogers, and Telus – that lock customers into very expensive calling plans. If you’re in one of the Pricey Three’s plans, you are more likely to run out of call credits, you will have less minutes included, and the price of additional minutes will be more expensive than the rates of your friends and family around the world.

The solution is RingCredible’s “How to hack your mobile phone bill,” which include the following tips:

5. Use calling cards, which is a very cheap way to make calls (just not very convenient)

4. Try the smaller mobile calling alternatives owned by Bells, Rogers or Telus

3. Go with free peer-to-peer calls using Viber

2. Sign up for Wind and Mobilicity, which sell all-inclusive packages (Mobilicity was recently acquired by Telus)

1. Sign up for a VoIP provider such as Skype [Skype The Silo: thesiloteam CP], Fongo, or VoipGo

Our solution, RingCredible (App’s available at www.ringcredible.com) is a great, and nearly free calling choice, with the added benefit of offering the same user experience as when making a normal mobile call.

* How to save when you’re out of the country and calling back home

* How other countries have hacked their own mobile calling rates
