What does Prepaid Unlimited Talk and Text means?

Example: Unlimited Talk and Text Prepaid Plan
Cost:       $55 for 30 days

 - Today, April 27th, you bought $55 prepaid card
 - You load this card to your cell phone
 - You will then have:
    -- unlimited local incoming calls and messages (text, picture, video)
    -- unlimited local outgoing calls and messages (text, picture, video)

 - On or before May 27th
 - You must buy a $55 prepaid card to cover you for unlimited talk and text for the next 30 days (until June 26)



PAY PER USE:

30 cents/minute
20 cents/text message

Topping up and carry over to the next month:

Example:

April 27th - I have 10 dollars remaining on my account

April 30th - My balance expires:  meaning that my 10 dollars will be gone and not carried over to the next month (unless I top up before April 30)

April 29th - I added 25 dollars:   so, because I topped up before April 30 (my expiration date), my total balance would be ( $10 + $25 ) = $35


Topping up before the expiration date:

- any unused balance will be carried over to the next month
- top up via: Credit card, Wireless top-up card, INTERAC Online, directly from your bank account
