Virgin has one for their cell phone users. And it works nationally...so yay not being charged long distance to Calgary for me!

I started to use my cellphone a lot once I entered university. I used prepaid going in thinking that I could use a plan instead. I ended up only using 150$ for the 8 months I was there. HOWEVER, I was in residence and I used my residence phone a lot.

If you're not in your room, it can be difficult for people to get a hold of you...and this can be really important when you're in another city and/or off campus.

Being lost without a cell phone sucks. As does waiting to meet people somewhere that isn't walking distance and they being really late...and not knowing if they're coming.

I use my cell as my primary phone when I'm in Hamilton. I have a $45/month plan from Virgin, which is free calling/texting to five numbers in Canada, 100 free texts a month, and 200 daytime minutes.

If you're worried about it costing you money without using it much, get a pre-paid plan a contract-free plan from Koodoo. Then you can change things around if you need to.
