if u have unlocked phone then take it with u so u have options......u can get phones cheap if u sign up for a contract which is not as cheap as the plans with just SIM . there r various options check out plans and phones on cell phone company websites google for cell phone plan in ur area
like
rogers
bell
chatr
wind
publicmobile
fido
etc

do u already have a phone or u want S3 and the plans r expensive? cause for smart phones 55 is a okis deal should get around $40 but wont get phone free or data plan. if u already have a phone then u can get a SIM from chatr plans r cheap $20...if u want cheap phone and cheap plan try publicmobile ..wind mobile is cheap too

at first, i was planning to buy S3 from outside canada, but its the same situation, we have to get plans when we arrive. :(

do you think i should buy an S3 for the whole price on 1 company, then find a cheap plan like 20$ on the other company?

well calculate both options for the contract period and see which one is cheaper ..with $20 plan u wont get a data plan so u cant use 3g ..if u want to use internet then u have to go with expensive plans.....

mead, you have been here for 1 year.. how often do you use your "data" on your mobile

right now, im at my relatives home, they have wifi, i will be going to college in few days, there will also be wifi, i think. so.. do you think data plan will be useful?

i really dont like to spend on something which i will not use.

i can also call my family through laptop. so no need data.

i have a S1 but i dont have a data plan ...i dont need it or use it ..u can always take another plan later if ur not in a contract.....frankly u dont need S3 either if ur not going to use data plan then u dont need an expensive phone but again choice is urs....
