 that's pretty good, how did you manage to get the call id and unlimited after 5?... i wish i had something like that. 
 
I'm with virgin. 22/month + tax 
100 mins, 
250 outgoing text, unlimited incoming 
unlimited evenings (7pm) and weekend
 
they don't offer my plan anymore, and there's nothing worth better switching to, but i guess it's good enough.

 The MY5 is older, the rest of the plan is relatively newer.

		 $50 gets me this: 
 
250 minutes local 
Unlimited Evenings starting at 6 pm/Weekends starting on Friday 
Unlimited incoming, Rogers to Rogers/Fido to Fido 
Unlimited Canadian LD 
100 minutes INTL 
Unlimited SMS, MMS

With Rogers, and I was rocking a Bell Samsung Galaxy S. 
 
Pretty much a standard "old" plan. I added the 6 GB data recently though.

		 $25+tax per month with Wind. Unlimited talk and text nationwide. I'm not charged roaming when I move between Hamilton and Mississauga. Also, my friends with the cheaper Wind plans can call me for free, because Wind-to-Wind is always free. 
 
You can't beat that. I even gave up my iPhone for a terrible Huawei U8100.

 Reception's been great with no problems in Hamilton, so far.  The only times I didn't get any signal were in Toronto in the subway and in hospital elevators, but it's not like I spend my days in the TTC. =P
 
It also helps that I pretty much live in a WIND zone, whether I'm off or on campus, so I don't have to worry about making calls outside a WIND zone.
