^ You should see this thread:

[Elect] Rogers Wireless Retention Plans - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Retention plans are usually 60-ish with 6GB data.

wtf. That's a lie. If I remember correctly, you just had to be an airmiles member but telling you that you have to/had to be a rogers employee is completely false. Try calling back until you get someone know knows their shit.

To b honest you don't have to b any sort of member to get the 17.50 plan(200 min, free after 6 and weekends. This one right?). I got it just by renewing my contact. But I had to give it up to get a different plan. U just need to talk to a rep that doesn't have her head up her ass. good luck lol.

Are you sure you are on retentions/customer relations?

Try not to ask or use specific terms. Usually don't have good experiences. Just call and tell them your needs and see what they can do for you.

I want to port my number out from Rogers to Bell, since most of my family and friends are using Bell.

I called customer relations today, and the lady was willing to offer me a new phone. So heres the deal.

I get a brand new HTC Raider for $151.xx taxes in but they will have to sign me up for a new 3 yr term.

But since Im cancelling anyways, can I just take new deal with the new phone and then cancel after?

If I cancel now, I'll be paying $500 + HST, but if I took the phone and cancel after, I will be paying $500 + $151.xx for the phone and I end up with a brand new phone that I could sell to cover up my fees.

Can someone tell me if it will work?

Thanks

So there would be a time frame in which I can cancel and do not have to pay for the phone as well?

That $151 breaks down to $99 for the phone, $35 for activation fee and the rest for other fee and taxes.

pretty sure you wont have to pay for the phone. the termination fee is to cover the cost of the phone subsidy.

personal ethics aside, you might as well take the phone and then cancel. your only paying $150 more and im sure you can sell it for more than that.

I think your cancellation fee is the full price of the phone $574.99 - the subsidized price of $151 + admin fee.

Apparently Rogers' new retention plans aren't nearly as good as the old ones. When I upgraded my phone I got a warning from my rep to never change anything with my plan because they'd then have to change me to the new retention plans. So just a heads up for anyone with a good plan from the last few years.

FWIW this is what I have:
500 Weekday
6pm Ev+Wknd
Retentions Value Pack (2.5K text, Call disp/ID, etc.)
1K LD Minutes
6GB LTE Data
~58/m after taxes and fees

Yeah I had my numbers wrong.

So if you cancel 1 month afterwards:

($574.99 full price - $151 subsidize price) x (35months remaining / 36months total contract ) + $12.50 admin fee = $424.71. This is for the voice plan only.

There's also the Additional Device Savings Recovery Fee (ADSRF) for the data which I have no idea how it's calculated.
Applies Jan.22 and after.

^ Why do you think I paid the $500 ECF to get away from Rogers.

I was willing to pay the penalty to get away from what to me was very sub-par service.

followed up on thie

34.95 doesn't include caller id (unless you negotiated it in)

12 = caller id + vm

25 = 500mb data

so it would be ~70 dollars....not a good deal.
