PC Mobile
Encyclopedia : P : PC : PCM : PC Mobile
PC Mobile started in the summer of 2005 as another President's Choice product, reselling Bell Mobility's services as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator in Canada. As with other PC products, their aim is to offer low fees, and rebundle someone else's product.
PC Mobile was created to challenge cheaper pre-paid providers like Virgin Mobile and pre-paid industry leaders Rogers Wireless, Fido and Telus.
Hardware
PC Mobile currently offers two phones:
Fees
PC mobile airtime fees are $0.20/minute. The initial card is for $10.00 (good for 30 days) worth of airtime and subsequent cards are for $15.00 (30 day expiry) and $25.00 (90 day expiry).
You can also use the balance on your account to subscribe to their GRPS wireless web service. The WAP based service will allow you to view websites linked from the PC Mobile homepage as well as other wap enabled sites.
Retailers
Phones are sold at booths at select PC brand stores only:
