It’s been a month since we wrapped up our road trip and we finally got our Big 3 roaming and long distance bill. OUCH! Using a Big 3 phone to travel across Canada and the US was even more expensive than we thought. The good news is, it also means using a Mobilicity phone saved [...]
This is the FINAL post that compares the totals spent on our calls throughout the whole tour. Before I go into final tallies I should point out the plan each phone was on. The Mobilicity phone was on our unlimited $35 plan plus $10 unlimited data add-on (so that we could receive e-mails from people looking to schedule calls [...]
It’s a bit weird to think that after spending every day with Dave, Sheryl, and Justine for 13 days straight, I’ll rarely, if ever, get to see them again. We’ve travelled over 5,000km, passed through five provinces and three states, and seen more trees than I can count. It’s amazing how well I got to [...]
Today is the day that breaks my heart completely. Our magenta Mobilicity-branded SUV is being unwrapped to reveal the boring shade of its original boring, blah, snowy, marshmallow white hue. This marks the end of the Mobilicity “Prove It To You” Tour. We have proven that Mobilicity is the best wireless deal, no matter where [...]
Though not nearly as busy as the location in Surrey, there was still a decent amount of foot traffic drawn in by the free food and give-aways. Excitement was kept going with a Spin the Wheel game for prizes and hugs. Justine was running this and I’m pretty sure she had it rigged as there [...]
Before we arrived at the corporate store we made a stop to drop off Dave’s bike at the shippers. That itself was an adventure as the information we were given was out of date and the original address was now an empty warehouse. Even with the correct address in hand we still had trouble finding [...]
The last customer appreciation event that we attended today was in Burnaby. The event was a great way for me, like the others, to speak to customers and meet employees I’ve only spoken to through e-mail messages. At this event there was a wheel that customers got the chance to spin and it landed on [...]
Last stop on my NHL arena mission is now complete with Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. If it weren’t for the posters of the players on the outside of the building I probably would have driven past it. It blends in so well to the surroundings that, to me, it could be easily missed. It [...]
Day 12 – Road Trip Within Road Trip After our dinner at the best sushi restaurant in Chilliwack we decided that it was too early to head back to the hotel room for the night. A movie wouldn’t be sufficient celebration for the last night of the tour and almost everything else in the city [...]
Today we reached the Okanagan Valley and the landscape is a definite change from the towering mountains we saw yesterday. The weather in this region would cycle constantly between sunny skies and overcast conditions. Every so often we’d suddenly hit a rainy patch that would disappear as quickly as it appeared. Clouds hung low in [...]
