WOW Mobile Kingston, Ontario

[DL00]

I had a great experience today at Wow Mobile at the Cataraqui Town Centre in Kingston.

When I told my mom about Public Mobile she was very intrigued. I saw the flash sale on for this weekend ($0 sim card and 30 day for $0) and decided this was the weekend to get her setup. We headed to the Cataraqui Town Centre and stopped in at the Wow Mobile both. The gentleman that helped us was very efficient and was very helpful. Once the account was setup my mom and I sat at a table in the food court (which was right next to the Wow booth). We setup auto pay and had her number ported in no time. I showed her how to monitor her data use and anything else she might need. It was great. My mom was so happy to be able to cut her phone bill nearly in half.

I do love that you can't get yourself into trouble. 

My mom asked "So, how much can I do on the internet with 500 MegaDoodles?", followed by "What happens when I run out?".

When I told her she just had to wait until her renewal date and could then start again she was relieved about not having to worry about going over.

The beauty of this service is that it is prepaid.  You can't get yourself into trouble no matter how clumsy you are with tech.  If the service is not paid for in advance, it won't be available for use.  If you did get your parents a plan with data, just leave the data on.  They can simply manage data by way of the apps they use.  Just tell them to be light on watching videos on the wireless data.  Over time, they can get used to how fast data is consumed based on their usage pattern.  That is about it. 

For all those who are running an android device, use the data witness PM app to monitor usage.  The app is a free download from the play store.  It is very accurate.

My mom is terrible with technology. I told her to get in touch with me if she has any problems. I think she likes the idea of having her own technical support.

I couldn't agree more. The $8 plan is good for so many people (myself included).

Good to know. I will probably not sign them up for a while still. Hopefully they will get better with tech but it's painfully slow.

I would just buy the add-on, as it also allows for the occasional usa and International call.

@jp2 My mom is not savvy with these things so I have to manage her account just in case over 50 minutes talk/text to purchase an add-on for her 🙂
