Hello, Internet.

So recently in math we’ve been learning about graphing, systems of equasions, and solving by substitution. To show our learning for this unit, we did a project comparing the overage costs for data and call minutes on different cell phone plans.

For our project, we compared Koodo, PC Mobile, and Freedom.

Freedom didn’t offer data, so we compared the data overage prices of just Koodo and PC Mobile. Koodo started out as the cheaper option with a starting price of $35, but became even with PC Mobile at around 75mb of data, and then quickly skyrocketed to become much more expensive the more data you use. PC Mobile started out at a price of $40, but the price didn’t increase very much as the data increased, so for someone who uses a lot of data, it would be the cheaper plan.

We were able to compare all three plans for overage price on call minutes. Freedom started out at $20, and stayed the lowest cost the entire time, never crossing over with the other two. Koodo started off second lowest at $35, but became the same as PC Mobile at about 13 minutes of call time, and then became much more expensive than either of the other two plans. PC Mobile started off the most expensive at $40, but stayed relatively low, especially in comparison to Koodo. Overall, Freedom is the best choice for call minutes in any case.

We came to the the ultimate conclusion that for someone who wanted to use a lot of data, PC Mobile would be the best choice. For someone who wanted to use a little bit of data but not go over, Koodo would be the best choice. For someone who didn’t want data, Freedom would be the best choice.

 

Toodles!
