Why should I buy a Clearnet PCS phone if I live outside a digital service area?
While Clearnet has launched pure digital PCS service in the greater metropolitan areas of Vancouver, Montral, Toronto/Golden Horseshoe, Ottawa and Edmonton, Clearnet PCS phones actually work everywhere traditional analogue cellular phones work in Canada. In other words, your “dual mode” Clearnet PCS phone will function as the equivalent of a cellular phone if you live outside a digital service area if it is served by cellular. Yet, all your airtime will be billed by the second (rather than by the minute), and you’ll pay no activation fees nor be forced to sign any long-term contracts. More importantly, you’ll be ready for the full-colour world of digital PCS when it arrives in your location.
