nope their is no wifi on the instinct but for like 5 or 10 dollars i forget the price u can get unlimited web browsing thats about it. also their is no real data plan for the instinct just the normal 5 cents a page for web that applies to all telus phones if u dont add unlimited internet. also note if you want to watch youtube it will be .50 cents a video unless you add unlimited video streaming (kinda like a data plan i know)

What? Do you even own an Instinct?

You're talking about data plans for smartphones...
Unlimited internet for the Instinct on Bell and Telus is $10/mth.

Yes I own an instinct and am on telus...

I might exaggerate a little because of my hate towards TELUS for their lack of support for the instinct (no 3rd party apps, firmware updates Huh?)

um hate to tell u but you dont get a data plan with the samsung instinct as it is not a smartphone/pda (at least not in canada dont know about us) so it only uses umlimited internet which is 5 or 10 bucks i had an instinct for about 7 months on telus, if you have a data plan you severely got ripped off.

they arent data plans a data plan needs a data phone pcs phones are not. it works like this telus charges u like .15 cents a web page if you dont have unlimited web but on a data phone if you do not put a data plan they charge you like 8 dollars per mb and thoese are packages designed to get you more for less money. you can call client care and put unlimited web browsing on i said its like 5-10 bucks not sure of exact price thats the only somewhat like data plan you get. do research your self seeing as they dont have every individual feature listed on their site with the price. also you do not have to add thoese features to your phone on a data phone like a blackberry you do our they usualy wont let you get them at least not here.

3 Unlimited Web browsing applies to PCS phones only and applies to usage within the phone’s Web browser. Tethered usage is not included. Downloads and application fees are charged separately where applicable. Web browsing is only available on digital phones in TELUS digital service area.

if i could put that on my phone i would not be paying like 40 bucks a month for  a data plan, also note that thing about tethering thats probably the only way you could get a data plan on the insticnt but i dont know if the instinct supports theathering as i have never used this feature in my life

Wow long enough rant, the original question came from an MTS customer, so my apologies, because I was talking to Craig.

That is what you are looking for. What you were looking at was bundles, you need to look at single features if all you want is internet.

P.S. YES, you can tether an Instinct. I'm with Bell and I played around with it a couple of days and it cost me an additional $75.00 that month. So be careful
