Hey, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn't because you get what you pay for, there's no free lunch, and easy come, easy go.<vbg>

"Free" pc's. Right. How come we don't give TV's away, or radios, how 'bout tickets to the ballgame. Everybody knows that it's really advertising that pays for these things, can't believe all the stupid people that have actually been paying for this stuff........

Offer Wireless Trading

Dow Jones Newswires

TORONTO -- Charles Schwab Canada Co. said it and Bell Mobility will
offer Ontario investors access to their trading accounts through Interactive
Information Services offered on Bell Mobility Digital Personal
Communications System, or PCS, handsets.

In a news release, Schwab Canada said it's working with other regional
carriers to roll out similar services across Canada. Starting Thursday, its
customers with a trading account will be able to receive real-time stock
quotes, log on to their Schwab Canada account, and execute trades via a
Qualcomm QCP2700 phone from Bell Mobility.

The company said Bell Mobility PCS subscribers who don't have a
Schwab Canada account will be able to receive delayed stock quotes for
securities they are tracking, as well as news headlines, directly from their
PCS handsets through Schwab Canada Market Information.

It said full deployment of Interactive Information Services will coincide with
the launch of Bell Mobility's PCS digital data network. Interactive
Information Services will be available to all PCS subscribers with a
Qualcomm QCP2700 handset. It said there is no charge for the services,
and subscribers are charged for digital data airtime usage only. When a
Schwab Canada customer executes a trade via PCS, regular online trading
commissions apply, it noted.

Charles Schwab Canada is a unit of Charles Schwab Corp. (SCH), San
Francisco, a discount brokerage firm.

Bell Mobility is a unit of BCE Mobile Communications Inc. (BCX),
Montreal, which provides wireless telecommunicatins services.
