<div><div dir="auto">Thanks everyone! I’ll give them a shot. When we first signed on with Wind mobile they were quite good, but over time the service side of things seemed to fall off completely. Great to know it’s the Rogers network, might actually be an improvement over our network despite the fact the chatr map looked similar to Freedom’s.</div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Aug 21, 2018 at 4:08 PM Stuart Seeley <<a href="mailto:stuart@lowlevel.ca">stuart@lowlevel.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="auto">Sounds reasonable to me...

Chatr is Rogers, so the network coverage should be great, same as Rogers<br>
proper.<br>
<br>
They have a great plan for $45 unlimited calls and texts and includes 4GB<br>
of data + 1GB as a bonus.<br>
<br>
But, they differentiate between in-zone, and not in zone, for data.<br>

So you don't get data west of London, or north of here, as a friend found<br>
out a few weeks ago, after switching to Chatr.<br>
<br>
Luckily, they are month to month, so my friend will switch to Koodoo, who<br>
have data coverage out of 'zone'.<br>
