Fantastic service and reasonable price…read more I brought in my brother's iPhone while he was in hospital, and it was thoroughly screwed up. The down volume button was not working, which is also required with the power button to turn off. The lightning port was not working, so you could not charge or sync by cable. The ringer toggle switch was frozen in the off position so you could not hear if someone called or texted you. Basically it had experienced severe liquid damage from exceptionally sweet sugary liquid, and all that sugar had turned rock solid. The gentleman at VanCell diagnosed the issue on the spot. He suggested that the best fix was to replace the housing and charging port, which would be about 3 hours labour plus parts. By housing I mean the entire external part of the phone aside from the front glass, containing all the volume, power and ringer buttons. He literally had to open the phone, remove ALL the internal parts, re-install them in a new housing and then re-seal the entire device. That sounded pricey but the phone is relatively new and quite expensive. I was pleasantly surprised when he quoted me a net price of $190 pre-tax. It was closing time but he said he could do it the next day and have it done by afternoon. I picked it up at 4pm the following day and it literally looked and worked like a brand new phone. He had also thrown in a new screen protector to replace the cracked one I brought it in with. I had forgotten to bring the charging cord and block with me to bring to my brother, so I added them as well. The final bill for the parts and labour, screen protector, cord, charging block and tax was $240. That seemed extremely reasonable to me, as I'm an industrial electrician and would be billed out at WAY more than that for 3 hours labour plus materials. I live in New Westminster myself, but if I ever need work on my own phone I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. Everyone needs to know a few good, key trades people in life...a good plumber, electrician and mechanic, and in today's world of $1 to 2k flagship phones, a good smart phone technician. VanCell is that guy.

I'd heard a couple friends switched over to Mobilicity, so I thought I'd take a look. This store was small, straight-forward and no pressure. I really liked that. Their selections of phones is modest, but flows really well from super cheap burner phone to highest-end Androids. I decided on a middle-ground and got a little Android on sale for $120. The resolution on the screen isn't great and it'll take some getting used to (it's not an iPhone! Boohoohoo), but I'm pretty happy with it. I got the promo deal of $40/month for UNLIMITED EVERYTHING. Woohoo! 'Though my phone may be a dink, it's still Smart and it'll certainly not be driving me into the poorhouse. All in all, the service was great - he was really easy to work with, and they both even laughed when I made stupid jokes. I didn't feel pressured or uncomfortable at all and they were really honest about the pros and cons. All around, I definitely recommend them to anyone considering switching! So far I haven't made many calls so I'm not sure about coverage, but I guess that's an issue for the company, not this retail location.

I switched from Rogers and realized on the very first day that it was a huge mistake. They locked me into a 3-month period, and despite multiple complaints, nothing was ever resolved. Once they take your payment, they seem to stop caring completely. No refunds, no compensation, and no effort to fix the issues. I spent hours emailing their support team, answering all their questions, and sending screenshots as proof. They kept giving me hope that I would receive a refund or compensation, but after wasting so much of my time and energy, they ultimately refused to do anything. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with a telecom company. Beware -- I would strongly recommend avoiding Chatr services.

Double check your phones in complete darkness if you choose to do business with them and be prepared for them to fight you on it. I would just go somewhere else and avoid the headache that I had. Even when I was there another lady came in unhappy with the service there, so it's not just me. I asked them to just take their screen back and refund me and leave me literally with a handful of parts for my phone so I could just go buy another phone but they still refused. It was never about the money, I'm a content creator and use my phone all the time and after 72 hours of them having my phone I was about at the end of my rope. They wanted to bring in another phone to see if I was lying to them about the brightness issue. This was after having my phone for 72 hours. in that time they never emailed me about issues, waited for me to show up to tell me problems like... "Our screw driver broke and we need a new one..." or me needing to bring it back becausee the selfie cam wasn't focusing, or the brightness they decided to not believe me on was working fine.
