PEI Cell Phone Options (July 12 2007)
On PEI, we have 4 options:
Telus, Aliant, Virgin Mobile, and Rogers.
Virgin Mobile is a newer company but looks like they deal with lower end users and don't offer data plans. Virgin Mobile piggybacks off of Aliant's cell phone towers.
Rogers is a major player in the local phone market but as previously reported, they aren't reliable outside of Charlottetown. Rogers has their own cell towers on PEI.
Aliant is owned by telecom giant BCE, which was recently take over by the Ontario Teachers Fund. I have never used them directly.
Telus Mobility is a Western-Canada based company who also piggybacks off Aliants cell phone towers. They are bigger out west but not so much in the east.
