Dear All!
Based on my research I think "Chatr" is the best mobile network to choose in Canada economically at least according to my needs.
http://www.chatrwireless.com/web/chatr.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=PlanBrowse
Reasons
If you take "$45 Unlimited Talk & Text plus International Call Saver" it gives you
1) Unlimited incoming calls
2) Unlimited outgoing Canada vide calling
3) unlimited incoming and outgoing texts in Canada and also Worldwide
4) Voice mail feature
5) Call display, call waiting, call forwarding
6) No contract
7) $10 bonus for first 8 months if you pay by credit card
Above all It will work in basement too because they use "Rogers Network" which is quite strong and any GSM phone with 850/1900 mHZ frequency and UNLOCKED will work.
Coverage is also good. Chatr zone exist in 6 big cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver
If some one has better option please share...Thanks
I am using Mobilicity since October 2012, with No contract. Its a $45 package which I got in $35 over a promotion.
It gives; unlimited Nation wide Calls to Canada, as well as America. Means whole North America is free!
Unlimited Data (Used my mobile as WiFi Hotspot for a whole month to connect my Jadoo 3, when I didnt have the SHAW connection)
Unlimited SMS all over the World.
Caller ID, Call Waiting & Forwarding, 3-Way calling.

Just you have to purchase a phone from them to use their SIM OR you can buy it from the market too, but it should be AWS unlocked.
Coverage areas are almost the same as Chatr.
