Data is still horrible in Canada. Noone is texting hundreds SMS per month nor using 1000 minutes per month, so those are free unlimited but damn data… it’s still expensive.
Koodo has been decent, I’m at 75Gig for $55, with free unlimited calling to 28 countries . (pick a perk)
Also, not sure not sure what you mean about no one is texting nor using 1000 minutes per month?
Well not sure why you have downvotes, but for me its also used as work phone so texts via sms and regular phone calls are a thing because you can’t control customer app choices or device choices, so a standard sms or phonecall is required.
Sometimes I wonder if people in cities have no idea the digital divide exists.
Texting and calling via a cellphone network is a far more reliable where I live, and even at that, there are known dead zones along my road (a main road) where calls drop, and texts either don’t send or a painfully slow.

I text 0 characters a month and use 0 minutes.
It’s all Skype, fbmsgr, hangouts.
Because it’s 2023.
I’ve never thought of using Skype as being modern. Maybe Discord, Matrix, Teams, Whatsapp…

Hangouts in 2023?
