So, with the pipe band I tend to travel to the US a bit for parades. That requires me to try to figure out how to continue to get my data feed.I used to swap SIMs for a ROAM card, or use a spare device. But service was spotty.
Then I started using the Roam Better package at Bell. For $5 a day (same I was paying for Roam Mobility) I didn't have to swap SIMs and it had better coverage.
The only thing with that was it only allowed me 100MB a day. That was somewhat limiting, plus it was not in my normal pool of data, so my phone wouldn't know to not count that time.
So, for an extra buck a day I could use my 'home data pool'. Use as much data as I wanted in the US, just don't go over my bucket for the month.
Cool. Well, that price is going up now by another buck.
The 100MB/day plan is going from $5 to $6 and the home data option is going from $6 to $7.
Still, not a big deal ... but go for a 3 day weekend and that's a third of my monthly plan. Still cheaper than paying for long distances I guess (or doing without).
