I don't really know what to expect on my next bill...
The girl said $47.43+tax but I don't think she took account of my value pack...
There's also two E/W discounts... So we'll see what happens.

$2.43 is the new SAF.
It's a single line.

The trick is get the 1GB and try to get it for $15 a month. then when 6gb comes back out, upgrade it.

Also, just got confirmation that the iPhone4 is being processed.

and how do you pull that profile from the rogers website cause mine don't work like that its a new thing on their website where you can see very limited stuff on there. and if you can get all that for 47$ that plan is a king plan!

Products and Services -> View Wireless Usage -> Wireless Plan

Because of the two E/W discounts, I'm not sure if there's a double discount...
If there is, I'm never calling in again haha.

If it's any help, I had a plan that was $69.xx after tax but it was the $35 unlimited, cid, vm, 2500sms, 6gb data.
but a $10 data discount is pretty easy to get now a days

He might have to get a minimum $25 data plan if he upgrades to a smart phone. Later on he can ask for the flex plan.

mobilicity has excellent plans i have to admit..but they don't give you the option to sign a contract even if you wanted to..

so to use their data..you'd either have to buy a phone from them..eg. bold 9700 for $499 + tax ( or was it $450) or get a phone from t-mobile..

none of the rogers or hk phones support the 1700 band for data so ur pretty screwed up that way...forces you to pay for the "cancelling fee" basically up front..

with rogers at least if you play your cards right you'll get good deals..
e.g early upgrades with phones...the profit you make from selling an iphone already covers ur cancelling fee..so I'm not that concerned about signing contracts with rogers

Called in on Saturday to get rid of my old plan and resign for something cheaper. I didn't want to give up any of my services and in the light of Mobilicity's new plans, I wanted something better.

I didn't haggle much so it wasn't too much of a deal:

200mins + 100mins bonus
6pm unlimited w/e
CID
2500 texts
VVM
6GB

$47.58 + tax

I was paying way too much for what I was getting and now it's somewhat better with Rogers. I hate bargaining and I was just going to cancel and switch to telus' employee and family plans (which was actually worse, just cheaper). I honestly didn't think they would do anything for me as I still had 15 months left on my old corporate contract. After an hour of talking, I got:

200+100 daytime
unlimited evenings and weekends 6pm
unlimited texts
visual voice mail
1GB data
iphone value pack (whatever the hell that is)
My 5 Canada
HUP iphone 4 for $159 shipped to my home

3 year contract for $64.43 after tax. I probably could have called back and and bargain it down a few more bucks, but at least I got something.

Did they give you any good [retention] plans? Or are you stuck with the ones offered to the general public?

SOL = "Shit Out of Luck"; a "basic" contract would be one that's offered to the "general public"

Prepaid or month to month plans have no weight in getting you a retentions plan.
