Unlike in the US and most other developed countries, Canadians have been paying hefty fees for long-distance and calls between cities. According to EQO, that’s about to change as they’ve announce their new “plan for Canada,” to enable its countryman (EQO is from Vancouver) to call from their mobile phones to anywhere in Canada and 30 different countries for only 2.6 cents per minute. To put it in a perspective, full hour worth of calling will cost only $1.56.
Naturally, EQO-to-EQO calls are/remain free (just like with Skype) and so is the IM service on all major services (MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk, ICQ and Jabber). Plus, to further sweeten the deal, EQO is offering a bonus of up to an hour and a half of free calling if you sign-up soon.
There you have it, people of Canada are suddenly free. Scrap that, only the ones living in major cities, including Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Saint John’s, Sherbrooke, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria and Winnipeg.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
