New Playbook - need a phone too - help!
Just received a playbook for Christmas and LOVE IT!! My next wish is to get a smartphone....(doesn't have to be a Blackberry phone).....but I do want to either bridge or tether it to my new playbook. That way I can use the playbook out of wifi range too!...not to mention being able to do so much more!
I live in Canada.
Here's the thing though....I'm really cheap! Just to illustrate....my present phone still has an antenna!!! No data or texting.....but I only pay $12.00 per month for use of it...and I have only been using it in cases of emergency, etc. Not very much at all.
I would like to get with the times and update to a smartphone.....but don't know where to start. I've looked at most of the major carriers websites in Canada here....and I just get confused. There is so much tiny print involved with each plan it becomes so confusing. The idea of being stuck in a contract for 3 years is really annoying....I pay monthly at the moment.
I don't want to pay very much each month for a phone.....but would like some data and to be able to text some.
Any ideas for this fifty-something woman who is still trying (albeit slowly) to keep up with technology but watch her budget at the same time???
The idea of tethering or bridging the playbook to the phone gets me excited to try it
and be able to do more with my playbook more often!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
