got a stupid question.
they sell the disposable cell phone around everywhere up there right?
can someone tell me some of the cell companies that do disposable phones in Toronto?
coming up for the weekend and don't want to get ****ed with a huge phone bill.

I'm pretty technologically challenged when it comes to cell phones, but can't you just buy LD calling cards to use with cell phones? Or would that not work for someone in sniks position? Disposable cell phones sound pretty heinous.

everytime I use my phone up there it would cost 99 cents a minute(even if I use a calling card) and the data charges are out of control as well and I can't disable my text and email.
I have heard of up to $2400 bills so a bit scared.
I thought a $30 phone from 7/11 and I'm golden if they sell them at say 7/11 or a grocery store of some kind.

This Wednesday fine sir! Weather looks good so far as well. Hope some folks can make it out for the inaugural run. Should be fun. The irony is that I'm not a very competitive person by nature - I just like riding my bike fast.

Quick healing K-Fresh! Glad you kept all your marbles in the jar.

I didn't realize that Fido did those, but I know that Virgin has similar phones. Not sure how much they are; you may be able to check at virginmobile.ca ... They're generally available at Mac's convenience stores, not sure if Sev carries them.

YES YES YES!!!

Just let me know a while in advance so I can get off work. :)

And thanks for the fun racing times on Saturday guys, that course was fast!

sorry to hear about your run-in with the tree Keith, heel up all good-like.

+1 on the colours ride as long as you're talking leaves and not gangs.

I'm gonna try and make it out to the ex on Wed too. Ryan- is this a "toronto fixed" thing or can I spread the word?

I'm pretty sure I've seen the poster dingdong around, so I'm assuming he's trying to promote it. Also, the downloadable pdf on the website (http://www.devilstriprollers.com/)... werd.

Based on IPs, same way everyone else (eg. iTunes music store, www.pandora.com, etc) does it.

Speaking of which, a friend of a friend of mine had his pirated copy of MS Office "phone home" via the Internet to rat him out and he got banned on Xbox Live because the IP was the same. Pretty effed up!
