2. Tbaytel is Aholes （ 31 ｜ 9 ｜ 11）
Original English title:Tbaytel being Aholes
Post summary:Why does Tbaytel hold 807 numbers hostage? I like my number, and even if I'm not in Ontario, I want to keep it. Tbaytel's old contract doesn't allow 807 numbers to be ported to Rogers or Fido. What do we get out of this?

Why tf is Tbaytel holding 807 numbers hostage. I love my number and would like to keep it even if i am not in Ontario. This old contract of Tbaytel doesn’t allow 807 numbers to port to Rogers or Fido. What are we gaining from this?
Featured comments:
- I agree it's annoying. Fortunately, 807 numbers can be ported to Bell, Virgin, Telus, Koodo, Freedom, etc., so there are options to avoid Tbaytel's high prices. As for why this contract exists between Tbaytel and Rogers, it's complicated. My understanding is that Tbaytel owns all the infrastructure in Northwestern Ontario. Rogers wants to have customers in Northern Ontario, but (12)

As for why this contract exists between TBaytel a - Northern Ontario doesn't actually have Rogers telephone switches to provide 807 switch service. Tbaytel and Rogers have an agreement not to do business in each other's territory. I assume you can freely port to Bell/Virgin or Telus (11)
EN: There are literally no Rogers telephone exchanges in northern Ontario, they cannot serve 807 exchange. Tbaytel and Rogers have a deal to not operate in each other territories. I am assuming you are free to port to Bell/V - I don't think it's the 807 area code, because you can dial 807 numbers in Kenora and Dryden, it's just the area code for the region. The next three digits are carrier-specific, and the last four are the customer number. For example, 807 means Northwestern Ontario, 355 or 356 means Rogers, 621, 251, etc. mean TbayTel, 407 is Lucky, 678 is public (4)
EN: I don’t think it’s the 807 area code because you can get 807 numbers in Kenora and Dryden just fine, that’s just the area code for this region. The carrier specific number are the next three and the client number are the

- If you're buying new tires, nobody beats Canadian Tire. The price might be a few dollars more, but no question, the nationwide warranty is worth every penny. One of their tires had a broken belt, and they replaced all 4 tires because it was a 4x4 and the tires were a year old. (5)
EN: If you’re buying new, no one beats Canadian tire. Maybe by a few bucks price wise but their no questions asked, nationwide warranty is completely worth every penny. Had a tire from them blow a cord and they replaced all - Last winter I had to replace tires. I already knew what tires I wanted, so I called around to see what the prices were. Everyone was within a few hundred, except Pelletiers, who was about 1K lower. (5)
