Stay away from Mobilicity. They are a bunch of thieves.
Ok... after a 45 minute talk with a bunch of folks at Mobilicity
(including their floor manager) - I have to conclude these guys are
thieves. They will not offer a refund. Gave me the crap about Fair
Usage Policy (my data for the month used is less than 10 Mb). Have
confirmed that other ports are blocked, and their internet is
exclusively for Web Surfing under their "fair usage policy".
Based on my tests all non standard ports are blocked - SMTP, IMAP and
SKYPE seems to be functional. Right now their floor manager "Cory"
Employee ID 659903 -- confirms that no refund will be given based on the
fact that I surfed websites (I have surfed websites to do speed
tests)... and the guys will absolutely NOT budge to even
pro-rate/refund the services. My billing is from the 16th of every month.
FTP, SFTP, SSH is 100% confirmed not functional as of "today". I can't
confirm yesterday (Saturday), but Friday was 100% functional. Customer
service is absolutely HORRIBLE with Mobilicity when you need to discuss
anything with regards to refund. SIP and SSH, two most important
things for me on the move is now completely blocked.
Just a FYI for you all, before considering Mobilicity data plan.

As of this morning, I can confirm 100%, that Mobilicity has blocked
SSH ports and SIP ports (UDP and TCP). As of Friday the 15th,
this was working. I cannot confirm for yesterday the 16th, but my
wife was saying that video or voice did not work (yesterday). I have
my video phone connected **DIRECTLY** to Mobilicity by means of my 3G
router.
Basic HTTP and HTTPS is working perfectly without issues. Speed test
confirms same standard results. The above findings are based on
tests on different laptops with different sticks but same SIMs.
Would appreciate if any of you could provide feedback on this as
well, if you are using Mobilicity.
Thank you,
Reza.
To verify this, go to www.grc.com and run the port scan. After you do
that, you can read some info about testing for ISPs blocking ports.
