I’m wondering if anyone here uses data with Presidents Choice?

Has anyone used data on an iphone or other smart phone with Presidents Choice mobile?

I’ve been using Presidents Choice Mobile for a couple of months now and would love to get a data and a smart phone.

any information would help.

Not going to work, at least in any way that won't bankrupt you.

The unlimited browsing only works on a small amount of phones, and every single one of them are garbage phones.

Presidents Choice Mobile are mulling over charging 5 cents a kilobyte. How nice of them.

Believe me, I tried. It worked for 1 minute, and then it denied Internet on my Nokia E71.
Bell classifies it as a smart phone. The problem is over 99% of the HSDPA phones out there are considered smartphones.

I get data working on my cruddy Bell Nokia 2730, and it is only cruddy because of the fecal matter Bell put on the phone I cannot get rid of.

I would love to know if the data service would work fine on an unlocked and debranded Nokia 2730, I do not want to pay $100 to find out though.
