What would you change about your cell phone plan?
Written by Leah. Filed Under advertising, internet, marketing, question, technology
I have found this really cool website that has been created by a company in Canada that will be starting to provide cell phone plans. The way they have chosen to do their research is interesting - by opening up an online forum called “Wireless Soapbox” as a way for people to get their likes, dislikes and ideas concerning their current cell phone plan, and offer input as to what they would like to see in an ideal cell phone plan.
Think there’s a better way to do wireless?
Welcome to the Wireless Soapbox, a forum for people who believe that cellular can be done better. Have a complaint? Air it. Have an idea? Share it. Ask a question. Start a discussion. Whatever… it’s up to you. Choose a topic and get involved.
Whan an innovative way to do research! Essentially, their only expense was to create this website, it was advertised via ways of media interest, and pay a couple people to monitor it and BOOM - you have loads of free informtation coming at you right from the consumers themselves.
I, currently, have not yet contributed to it as I have not put a lot of thought towards what I like and don’t like about my cell phone plan. A popular topic I have noticed is the “system activation fee” and how people don’t like to see it on their bill every month, they would like to have it dissolved into their other fees. I agree with that one, I am charged $6.75 (or so) every month by my current provider, but that seems like something that should be included with my $25/month plan!
Would you contribute to this website (even if you aren’t Canadian) to get your ideas across? Canadians, this is your way to get the cell phone plan you really want. I am so intrigued to see what ideas and plans do come out of this Wireless Soapbox!

Would you be interested in exchanging blogrolls links with my site? Please email me if you are interested
Wow, it would make me really happy if this site resulted in some actual changes to the way cell phone plans are structured in this country. I hate the options we have for providers and plans - they are so inferior to what’s available south of the border. I will definitely be giving my feedback on the site! Thanks for passing it on.

good topic. I just spent an hour with my cell phone provider. It turns out that I have been over billed for the last 3 months on my long distance- to the tune of almost 70 dollars. I hate “3 year plans” Oh, want a new phone? Just sign up for another 3 years. Want out of your plan? Just pay out your existing “3 year plan” Blech.

Hey, if your interested we had used a company out of London for our wedding cake. Super job at a FANTASTIC price. I was literally amazed considering we had three cakes make at a fraction of the cost for one cake from anywhere else.
Are you done and able to teach after this year.
I;m thinking of returning to Western in January or early summer to finish my BA and pursue teachers college.

That is a rather sneaky way of getting your R&D done for free. And me, I just want to pay less. For everything.

Hate cell phones and cell phone plans because of all of their dumb tricks.. a $25/month plan quickly adds up to $70 with call display, the system activation fees, long distance, text messaging… and not just that but the phones break so much, 3 year plans are stupid, there are SO many tricks when you buy cell phones that I feel like I can’t trust anything the person selling it to me says. I could go on and on! When I lived in South Africa my cell phone cost me about $10/month. I just think Canada is so far behind in the cell phone world.
