Easy Experience in Victoria BC

SolemnGoose — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 14:20:50 GMT

Got a voucher at Shoppers Drug Mart (Uptown), a sim from London Drugs (Quadra), both nice and easy.

Activated at home, no problems (well, one error message and re-do, but that's not much of a problem).

So far so good so my very first cell phone (no seriously, and I'm way over 40).

Thank you to many community contributers, I read a lot here before getting started 🙂

Well, I'm older than that, and although I've used my wife's cell phone before, I've only had one myself, for about 9 months now. It just got to the point where the convenience was too attractive, AND having a cell plan was cheaper than our landline, so it was "ADIOS" to the landline.

That's what I did too, and it'd be nice if more PM newbies did the same. 👍

Anyway, welcome to the circus! 😉

Cool. I got my first mobile phone while living in Victoria, too. It was with Koodo, and I actually remained a Koodo customer until just last week. Now I'm saving a lot of money with a superior plan on Public Mobile, and have referred all my family members too. I hope the weather's nice back in Victoria!

There has been no change. It's a typo.

"Except during the long, rainy, monochromatic Cascadian winter months"

...but that IS the good weather!

Now I'm moving to Port Hardy to get even more of it.
