So basically you're only paying $18 + tax?
If they won't give you free incoming, maybe try to waive the caller id

Just found out my contract expired about a week ago and I'm looking to resign if I get a wicked deal and looking to move up to the captivate or possibly wait for the gs2.

So my question for the cell gurus are:

1. Am I too late to try and get some wicked retention plan action

2. What are some of deals that other people have gotten so I know which way to push

thanks

No its not too late, now that you have the option to resign, youre at an advantage to negotiate.

There are tons of ppl in this thread that have gotten insanely good deals, that it might as well be free

Try to get early evenings, no service fee, extra daytime mins? Tailor your plan to your needs

I think the general concensus is that the nicer you are, the better chance you have of getting what you want, but this isnt always the case

Another thing you could do is find out what other providers are offering and use that against your provider to see if they can do better

If they give you 5000 minutes, would you be able to use it?
Would 2500 texts and unlimited texting make a difference to you?
It really comes down to what YOU want first, than negotiate to the best of it.

yeah it really depends on what you want.

what i did was look at what i wanted, the current plans offered, and I worked it out with the rep. nice and civil- they offered discounts with no hesitation because i was being reasonable. if you go too far, they'll just say no. don't push it too quickly. just say you're going to think about it and make a note on your account, then call again in a couple of hours for another rep and try again.

I'm not sure they're offering 6gb at the moment. They usually do it with the launch of a new phone, ie: new iphone, new android phone, etc. so you would have to call and ask.

Mine is

Early Evening Starting at 5pm
Weekend Unli call
Unli txt Canada Wide
My5 Canada Wide
VM and CD
500 International txt
6gb of data with tethering

and yes you could call retention and ask for a better plan even thou your in retention plan. You could change your plan without renewing your contract.

Note: if you do a plan change always call back and verify as some reps they do reset your plan and sign you for another 3 years to get commission.
