Questions newcomers ask

Asked in store, answered here.

Do I need a Canadian credit history?

No. Chatr prepaid plans at Great Tel require no credit check and no contract.

Can I keep my own phone?

Yes, if it’s unlocked. Bring it in and we’ll pair it with a Chatr SIM.

How long does it take?

Activation is done in store, in minutes — you walk out connected.

What if I need more data later?

You can change plans or top up. Ask in store about the plan that fits your usage, rather than paying for data you don’t use.
