Hi. I'm the moron who deleted your edits. The reasons are in general that you have disobeyed our guidelines. These are not my rules, but these on which the users agreed to here. I'm only the guardian of these rules.

Now in detail: You've added a recommendation section. This is not allowed as it usually ends in an editing war of different opinions of one provider or the other. When factual circumstances like coverage, speed, frequencies or other factors lead to a statement of its usability for travellers, it's OK (like Freedom mobile here). But it must derive directly from the presentation and can't be summed up at the bottom of the article. As every user is different, every advice can and will be contested.

You've added "prepaid" to some offers. Well, this is a prepaid-only site. We include only postpaid contracts under very rare occasions (accessability for foreigners, that it can be suspended anytime). It doesn't make sense to mark a provider as "prepaid" as they all are on the list.

You've added "postpaid" to Koodo. This is clearly wrong as Koodo has a prepaid offer as well: https://www.koodomobile.com/prepaid-plans?INTCMP=KMNew_NavMenu_Shop_PrepaidPlans. I have to take off false information.

About the 911 fee: you were right that Virgin charges it too. That it's not charged on some data-only SIM cards (without any voice) should be in the Basics chapter, if at all. I will add the states involved and the price range of CAD$ 0.43-0.70 per month.

About Public Mobile: You have got me wrong. We don't ban MVNOs here. That's for sure. But we ban all providers that only have an online distribution system without any availability of SIM cards or top-ups in shops. Most users agree to this policy, that you found "interesting", but added an offline operator anyway. But try to understand the position of a traveler looking for a SIM card. For Public Mobile, he/she needs to have a Canadian postal address and a postbox with his/her name on it. He/she needs to be there for delivery. The SIM card and the plan are both prepaid. It's essential that foreign credit cards are accepted. Many Canadian providers decline non-American credit cards. If you miss the delivery, because you are travelling (that's what travellers often do), you will loose a lot of money. That's why only "free" online-only offers like FreedomPop in the US are added here, if at all as you won't loose much on a freemium offer.

I already bent the rules concerning Public Mobile a bit by just mentioning them. So users who have a steady place to stay can check them. But that's how far I can go. To add it in an recommended list without conditions as best "data offer" for Canada is simply not possible.

There are so many backrounds why users prefer this or that. Someone from France visiting Quebec may be much better off with Free mobile's roaming "Pass Destination" than a Canadian SIM offer. Please understand, that it just can be broken down to your personal preferences.
