Canadian Cell Phone Plans - Per Minute Plans

Canadian cell phone plans have become more and more competitive! Along with competition comes greater variety, making it harder for you (the customer!) to figure out the best plan for you. It's amazing how long it took to compile even just the basic information in the table below. Hopefully this effort will help make your life easier in your search to compare Canadian cell phone plans.

Here you'll find the major PAYG plans (learn more about PAYG plans). I'm currently working on the other plan types, and will post them as soon as possible! So check back often, or sign up for the free ezine, Prepaid Wireless Tracker, to keep in touch with prepaid wireless news, and what's new with the site.

I do my best to keep up with plan changes and new plans, but if you think I've missed something important, or if you find a mistake, please don't hesitate to contact me!
