Just make sure you use wifi whenever it is available.

I'm currently with fido and would like to port my number over to Rogers. My billing cycle is on the 12th of every month and my contract ends on Dec 31 2013. What is the procedure to port over my number to Rogers without having to pay an overlaying month with 2 carriers?

300 Weekday & Unlimited Evening/Weekend
6GB data
2500 text, caller ID, voicemail

$49.63 without tax

Lost credits for unlimited incoming/my 5 so axed them out. I called in to see how much budging room they give on a friendly conversation asking for recommendations. The person I spoke too wasn't very open to suggestions, kept pushing the $8x dollars for 2GB special. Maybe today wasn't a good decision to call in (Black Friday deals for the phones).

on the website, rogers charges a connection fee of $15 for hardware upgrade, do you think rententions can waive that cost if I call in?

Yes they could... mine is waive. EUP fee and Connection Fee. Depending on the
rep too... Usually they cant but a good will credit will bypass the system

Been trying to reduce/change my plan to match Fido's plans for the past 3 days. Amazed at how the prices skyrocketed. Before it was pretty easy to switch plans, but now you have to pay $70 minimum with internet plans it seems

well.. I did a quick experiment with WIND MOBILE on the $30 unlimited plan and found that I wasn't even exceeding 400mb in data per month.

I didn't like the dead zones in WIND... they need to get more coverage within their own coverage areas.

Anyways, I ported out to ROGERS with my unlocked iPhone5 and snagged their 'Bring your own device' deal AND on a corporate plan:

Unlimited Local
Rogers ONE number access
Enhanced Voicemail
Unlimited send/receive txt/picture/video for Canada
.10 cents/min LD calling Canada/USA
call forwarding
call display, call waiting
3GIG Data
NO CONTRACT

$50.00 before tax.


anyways, its a pretty good deal and I appreciate ROGERS coverage areas and to me it was worth the extra cash monies.

so Rogers offers a hardware upgrade for the s4 for $149.99, how much do you think I can bargain with them if I call into retentions?

does anyone know the # for retentions/loyalty?

my frd is able to upgrade to the S4 at $0 although she just got off a 3year contract with them so maybe they are giving her some deals?

Just signed 2 year contract with Rogers, coming from Fido.

BC Government plan / Corporate

Not too different from what I had with FIDO retentions plan, but I wanted a new phone, and FIDO didn't have what I wanted, and wasn't offering premium phones for $0 on 2 yr contracts.

$65 / month
Unlimited local calling
Call Display / Voice Mail
Unlimited picture/video/text
Call foward / Call waiting
500 mins CDN LD
3 GB data OR 1 GB North American data

$0 HTC one w/ case and extra accessories.

so I just got this plan today for $70 before tax calling into Rogers:

Got a samsung S4 for ($99.99) with this plan:

-Unlimited Canada calling
-caller ID
-call waiting
-basic voice mail
-unlimited text message/video/picture
-500mb of data

They were not willing to lower the price of the plan nor the price of the S4 nor able to waive the connection fee of $15

*the person i was talking to was from the hardware upgrade department but they said that it was the same as customer relations also

I dont think this plan is cheap, can anyone chime in ? I asked them for incentives since I was a Rogers customers for 5 years but they still didnt budge, they told me the connection fee for a phone was $35 and lowered it to $15. The phone for $99.99 is the cost that Samsung supplies them for and it is subsidized through the monthly plan of $70

does anyone have the direct # for rententions? from what I heard, they are super hard to get to because there will be people in front who claim they can offer what retentions offers.

*this was my case from yesterday, when I asked to talk to retentions, they said they were the hardware upgrade department but still can offer what retentions offers

my friend is with rogers right now and he got 3gb of data along with all of the above for $56 tax in

he has been with rogers for 10 years though, do you guys think I can negotiate that deal with retentions?
