Received this e-mail.

Looks like the old grandfathered plans are going to be gone soon.

Important Message About Your Petro-Canada Mobility Service

Petro-Canada Mobility Unlimited Talk and Text Plans will be discontinued on Mar 1st. 2013.

Thank you for being a valued Petro-Canada Mobility subscriber. At Petro-Canada we're committed to providing our customers with access to value based innovative services. After careful consideration we have decided to discontinue the Unlimited Talk and Text plan in accordance with our terms and conditions.

Effective on your Plan renewal date in the month of March 2013 we will convert your current plan to the highest plan we currently have available, 300 Minute Talk and Text (with web browsing if previously selected).

Your first month of this new plan will be free. If you choose to change to one of our other plans in March visit mobility.petro-canada.ca.

Looks like if something is not profitable, MNVO's will completely scrap a plan.

Not even a grandfathering will be allowed.

Does anybody remember when people were selling cityfido plans for tons of money?

Ya, they came out with:

Unlimited Talk: 29.99
Unlimited Talk and Text: 39.99
Unlimited Talk Text and Browse 49.99

(you pay taxes when buying the vouchers, and pay $ 1.25 - 911 fee monthly also)

I think they launched the plan in Late 2011 . . . and then they said that all Unlimited plans were grandfathered on April 12th 2012 (the announcement was the same day that they discontinued offering it). It was pretty short lived.

It was hard to calculate your savings since they would only tell you total minutes used, so you couldn't compare it with an evenings and weekends plan on someone else, but I think we were saving about $ 50 + per month.

The difference from this and some of the others companies that offer or have offered monthly unlimited plans is that Petro already included Voicemail and Caller Number Display and there were no other fees.

I guess all good things must come to an end.
