^ Would this actually work? I thought there was no way to waive the $35 fee..?
Either way i'm content with my retentions plan for now...
Thanks for the heads up

I've also found it's kind of a motherfucker to completely renegotiate if you're already on a killer retentions plan. I should have done my data through retentions, but sadly I didn't so I'm paying more than I want to.
In the two calls I've made, I've sadly been rebuffed saying essentially "we can't give you any more discounts" and if I asked to remove some of the options (and direct credits) that I don't use (unltd incoming/R2R), they tell me "well you're getting them for free anyways".
If I cancel those options and wait a month or so and try calling in again, think I'd get a better deal? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just got my Rogers bill and they totally messed up but in my favor!! I was suppose to get a 3 month credit for $15 but they made it 3 years instead! Usually I have to call back to fix their mistakes but its nice to have good karma for once lol. I just renegotiated my contact in september.
Man...I hope I dont have to call into Rogers again so they don't catch this mess up.
My plan now is: 300 daytime min, unlimited e/w 5-7, unlimited incoming calls, unlimited network calls, cid/vm/2500 text, 6 GB data
Total is $22.50 + GRRF + taxes
Anyone know if mms is included in $10 value pack or is there a app for IP4 where i can send/receive picture and video msgs for free?

My plan was suppose to be 37.50 + GRRF + taxes plus they made a $15 discount for the entire 3 years of my contract which makes it $22.50.
I had to fight my way to even get my plan to $37.50 so this is like icing on the cake!!

grrrr i had an iphone buyer lined up and then rogers sends me an email one week later saying that it's backordered.
I find it odder that my bro who negotiated a contract yesterday for 3 of his lines is getting 3 iphones shipped to him via express post while mine is UPS ground. If he gets his before mine, I'm going to call in and bitch.

Currently at $40/mo. + taxes and fee's, 10GB/month | Update on this: I didn't need mobile internet anymore, so I sold my retention plan on kijiji for $50 and had the account/contract transferred to a happy buyer.
I still have the 2 rocket sticks and a netbook they gave me...threw those up on Kijiji as well

has anyone negotiated using wind mobile plans? Curious about the results.
$35 unlimited province wide calling. Unlimited wind to wind Canada wide.
I noticed they only charge $20 for 500mb data and $35 unlimited data.

They had an unlimited local calling not sure if it was all of BC but certainly unlimited anytime for $35...
But in terms of data, there hasn't really been anything like that..
If you're going to negotiate using Wind's Student Plan, better do it soon as it is only valid till Oct 31st.
Direct link here: http://www2.windmobile.ca/en/Pages/students.aspx
It has unlimited Canada Wide Calling (wind zones of course)
Unlimited text, Voicemail and Caller ID
For $25 and no hidden fees (Ie no GRT, SAF or 911).
Pretty good comparison tool but rogers will just counter with that $35 plan and probably give you promos like unlimited network, 100 long distance, etc...

The more I think about it, the less I think I'll actually need data. It isn't like I'm working in the business world where every e-mail to me has a deadline and I'm around enough places during the day in order for me to check on things.
Not to mention the places I'm normally at have WiFi so all in all, I don't see myself getting data until they change up the pricing for it. I do have on account that they're going to give me at least $5 off whatever data I might get.

You can't get an epic plan UNLESS you want to sign up for a 3 yr contract and you've been with them for a while. |
You just saved me $35
They apologized for not telling me about the admin fee and credited my account.

I'm tempted to try retentions again...
Right now I have:
200 Daytime minutes
6pm e/w
Call Display w/ Name Display
Enhanced Voicemail
2500 sms
1000 mms
WhoCalled
6GB Blackberry Data
For $47.50 + GRRF + Tax
I don't know if it would be greedy of me to try to get more or lower my bill at this point haha...
Probably gonna get rid of the MMS and save $5, but I really want out of the $17.50 plan... Apparently it's hard to get credits/discounts on that plan, especially when combined with the 6gb...
