Thats all the Canadians do anymore. They go to the big bad courts and to the CRTC and make Bell give the customers what they want.
Here is a thing--if you don't want to pay for your SMS/MMS then DO NOT USE IT! Problem solved! better yet---get a message package. That's why they have them! | |

If you bothered to actually read the article then you would have known that those under contract would have to pay an early termination fee. In other words, CANCELLING IS NOT FREE!
Direct quote from the article...Martin and Cormier say they are both locked-in to their cellular contracts, which last a few years, and would have to pay to opt out. Next time, please read the article before you open your mouth.  | |

Sueing them isn't going to do anything but get them... -- snip Now I'm getting upset here and think you're going off the deep end.
I hate contracts like the next person around here. If you're going to offer a service, then offer a service and make your customer happy; they'll stay.
The term "CONTRACT" is a term tossed around like a beach ball these days. If you're are in a contract, you can't simply change YOUR terms or change with out penalty. Why should the provider be able to, while in a contract, be able to just change the terms? The so-called "contract" is nothing more than a way to keep their customer a customer. It offers NO terms or protection to the consumer.. it's 100% in the favor of the provider/author of that contract to which I don't agree.
When *I* so-called "signed a contract" with my wireless provider, I had to agree to a whole slew of terms to be in that contract. I "signed" that contract because I was going to perform for a period of 2 years for a certain level of service and receive certain benefits during that time AND also agreed that if I default that I'd be penalized. My wireless provider is making me stay in a contract for 2 years - period. The way ANY OTHER CONTRACT works, for the most part, is that I am getting something for 2 years for agreeing to terms.. the contract was presented to get a bonus on start when purchasing a "qualifying package" which I did.
So.. tell me again WHY they should be able to open-ended simply change their terms at will at anytime and all they have to do is say "well, you can leave if you want'.. I'm sorry! .. but I signed up for 2 years of service, which is a term of their, and damn it, I expect it!
If you feel like it's okay to be screwed at every turn, then by all means, enjoy it! But, for those of us that don't, well, this is a case where the court systems NEED to be involved and I could care less if it's here in the U.S. or in Canada.. the law is the law.
In an OPINION of mine, the way I see it, if they want to change the terms of the agreement mid contract, then THEY should be required to pay ME back ALL of my fees paid to them while in that contract because they did not fulfill their contract by providing me the 2 years I agreed to, which in the way I see it, is a MAJOR breach of contract.
You need to get over yourself and stop telling people they are whining and crying.. the only one whining, here today, is you! | |

The contracts you have in the U.S. cover any changes. There's still a chance that the case could win but we'll have to see how it plays out.

On the other hand if Telcos didn't offer contracts and chareged full price for you equipment which is highly subsidized when you sign a contract, you would probably be bitching about that. To be fair on both sides:
1) the phones are also highly inflated in price only to be "subsidized" down. It's like a store wide going out of business liquidation and everything is 50% off.. that is after being inflated, sometimes, 110% first. (and yea.. sometimes that 50% off is actually 10% more than the original retail price)
2) I also know MANY people that would prefer to have no contract, pay full price for the alleged subsidized phone, and have the choice to leave anytime you want instead. Sometimes the amount you so-call save on the "free phone" is FAR less than the $200 ETF you are stuck with. Further, I've gone to providers with my own phone, one I already either owned, was given, or got on eBay, and I was STILL required to "sign a contract" with the provider.
Someday, it will be nice for people to understand that the contract for free or reduced hand-set scheme is just that.. a scheme and a bunch of crap. I've had cell coverage going back to 1989 and even back then I never paid for a single handset. Phones were given away all the time, and, when you had $100+ bills all the time, they'd THROW a new phone at you.. no contracts either. (Hint: Back then, hand sets, in their infancy, were much more expensive to supply than they are today!)
Think about that... | |

Sprint, VZ, TM, ATT all raised their prices and their customers are under contract. Big deal.
TM is the only one for the most part that does not allow you to turn off the messaging service that anyone has said anything about.
But after the big debate up there with Bell the only thing that country has done is cry and whine and said "we'll sue" big deal. Good luck! Prices can and will be changed. Use your contract to jump ship if you don't like it. | |

The sad thing is, apparently we did learn something from our northern neighbors (the neighbors we really don't care to visit), and the ISP's here seem to be following suit with the Canadian ISP's. Instead of upgrading, just don't let the customers use as much--then we can put more customers on the same equipment and not pay for any upgrades! | |

| Crying is good, but attacking Canadians is bad Well then, I guess we should follow the Americans and your idiotic president, who was VOTED IN TWICE by smart Americans?
I think that American pride is good but to protect pride that is already been rape-d and shit on is really stupid. The economic cost of running these companies in Canada are large, so what we need is some type of control measure that prevents the monopolies from gaining profit after profit for not doing anything but changing their prices. US is no different. Big companies will always think of ways to earn profits by screwing over anything or anyone in the way. So what we need for solving this problem will be more competition that could offer better services for reasonable prices. Canadians and Americans can always look at Europe or Asia and get another point of view. Arguing who it better is not going to help, but delays a thoughtful conversation leading to a possible solution. Hope everyone learns from this | |

We don't, actually we generally follow along with the flow of whatever the government tells us to do as long as it doesn't disrupt whatever happens to be going along with our lives, the same applies with corporations. The reason is simple: It's easy, expedient and we're easy going, this is a partial fallback to the old British system.
This has ever slowly changed in the last few years as Canadians have become more connected and realize that individuals actually have to get up off their asses and do something as the government(local, provincial and federal) are not looking after their best interests. | |

Imagine this scenario. You ISP charges $.1 for each incoming e-mail. You do not have the option to disable email. Suddenly, some spammer manages to get 1000 incoming emails in your mailbox.

To answer the flamebait, I'll toss one in kind. Do they teach anything in school anymore about the different political system around the world or are people wholey ignorant of what goes on ~600mi away from them? Canada operates in a different world of governmental policies and procedures. Suing for all things is generally the last line that has to be done when things go bad, should be noted that the fed's are still looking into this as an unfair practice.
The CRTC, while not the equivalent of the FCC, while covering a good number of the same issues. Can easily revoke a carries spectrum license over this too at the very end, or impose heavy sanctions such as fines. Now here's something else, due to the CRTC and spectrum licenses there are very few carries in Canada. Which means that, big surprise when they pull something like this it generally gets everyone's attention quick.
There's very few things that get peoples attention up here, screwing with technology that everyone uses is one of the big things these days. So with that, people are you bet going to feel it's unfair to be slapped with extra sms charges ontop of everything, when we already have some of the worst cell rates around.

And Americans don't run to the "big bag courts" (which doesn't make sense anyway that you'd call the courts "big bag) in this one) and sue for what they want? It's done, "anymore", these days in case you didn't notice.. So, stop singling out Canadians and look in your own back yard before you throw them stones.
Here is a thing--if you don't want to pay for your SMS/MMS then DO NOT USE IT! Problem solved! No, here's the thing... reading is fundamental! You said if you don't want it don't use it.. um, how do you NOT take an incoming SMS/MMS? One can stop sending messages, but how do you get everyone else to stop sending them to you?
better yet---get a message package. That's why they have them! Yes, and in this case, it's more of a way to guarantee they make more money.. this is the same way that American Thieves & Thugs, aka AT&T, here in the US does to make a butt load of money with that stupid death star and CV button. Accidentally press that button and you get charged for a few bytes of data. Multiply that across the entire multi-million user base that doesn't have a data plan and see how much AT&T makes. Call AT&T and ask them to block the internet and it's $4.99 per month to block it. At least sprint has "Data Guard" you can activate on the phone and at least Sprint doesn't put a button for the internet right over the SEND and END buttons either!
So.. don't Cry Cry Cry anyone a river here with your invalid points. Normally I'd agree with a position such as yours, but in this case, this is one of those rare exceptions where a phone company, again (surprise surprise) is putting the customer into the place of an un-fee like situation, or tacking on fees they can't control to make more revenue. | |

Get serious people. Both carriers will block all inbound SMS OR go through all of them and remove the spam ones. They have publicly said so dozens of times.
Also, your contracts don't include the features... they only guarantee the price and includes of the RATE PLAN. If your rate plan included a text bundle, then you're not affected because incoming is free if you have a text bundle. | |

| Telus/Bell charging for incoming text messages Here's the ironic part...
Telus sometimes themselves send you text messages to advertise their own services (Or thank you for continuing to use their service or remind you that on your birthday you get free local calls)
Makes me wonder if things weren't better before cellphones were invented (Big business would have found another way to screw over the little guy I suppose though)
If Telus or Bell really wanted to appear "fair" they would allow people to cancel their contracts for such a material change in services provided (Of course they wouldn't as they would run over by people stampeding to Rogers, ironic again)
I say good luck to the people suing Bellus, but I won't hold my breath.

| Tmobiles Blocking. Get a grip people.... On T-Mobile you CAN block incoming and outgoing Texts.
Login to MY.T-Mobile.com and go into change plan. Right there on the bottom, by messaging are the check boxes to add the service block features for $0.00 a month. Presto... Messages blocked.
Know what you're talking about before to talk out of your a$$ please. | |
