Does HUP require a $35 admin fee, or is that only on the Torch?

If someone is willing to help me negotiate a new plan, I am willing to pay for their services! Or maybe get you a coffee or donuts?

Though I have thought of asking something like this before, it is best that you do it yourself.
Besides, who wants to be on hold for 30+ minutes?
If you're serious about paying someone, make sure you break it down into a base contract where the money is guaranteed then you have bonuses for each new level achieved.
So basically if they call for you, they will get $10 dollars.
If they can get you the basic retentions plan, you will add $5.
If they can get your more credits, you will add $5.
if they can get you an epic plan, you will add $10.
So at the end of the day, you're guaranteeing an amount based on performance. Numbers I listed probably aren't realistic and were used for demonstration purposes.

can anyone send me a link to the "HUP reset trick", I saw this from redflagdeals a while ago. but it disappeared.... I think it shortens HUP cycle an allows you to get new device sooner?

I have one year and 5 months left of my contract and currently paying $74 a month after tax on my iphone 3G with rogers. Think I stand any chance that they'll give me anything? It'd be nice to have an iphone 4, but a cheaper plan would be great. I was just going to wait it out and switch to Bell or telus after.
current Coporate plan:
200 Daytime
unlimited evenings and weekends after 6pm
unlimited text messages
caller id
visual voice mail
who called
500 mb data

Why would you want to call the retention's line DIRECTLY?!
They know whether you are calling from a direct line or by other CSRs. I think it is MUCH better to have to go through different CSRs than going straight and having them wonder about why you have that number.
Sure it will take longer but the end results should be better.

You guys think I'd be able to call back after a couple weeks of getting a new plan. I'm finding I'm using more data than the person said would be fine but I need more Posted via RS Mobile |

Just out of curiosity, what is your current plan/the plans you were able to negotiate?

Got a New 9700 To replace my broken one that I bought (stolen according to the IMEI) back in december.
then they looked at my plan, and got something like the above, (the 6gb data plan) for 58 dollars after tax and everything, and then I can upgrade to a new phone.
I'm thinking of keeping my 9700 and going with a samsung captivate or an iphone 4 or a torch.
hmmm.
for once I like rogers.

hey, I tried using my sexiest voice to sweet talk rogers retention into getting me a data plan deal, but they wont give in. I talked to two of them today.
They only offer $25 for 500MB, and $30 for 1GB.... they are like " i am sorry you missed out on the 6GB $30 promotion. You'll have to wait until the next Iphone release cuz every year we have 6GB promotion placed for Iphone release.... blah blah blah
Anyone have more luck than me?.. Obviously I didnt take the data plan, and want to know what else I can do to make them give me a better deal.

I think you are out of luck on the data plan. I tried hard to get the 6GB, they told me i was a week too late.

Those are awesome plans.
Kudos to you for getting them!
Call it superstition then because I'm going to go through the old fashion way rather than the direct line.
