Jesus fuck, how long were you with Rogers as a customer to get that? I assume you have a considerable amount of credits?

I get almost the same thing, except I get 200 minutes, my10 and unlimited evenings and weekends for $43. However, I'm on a corporate plan, so yours is pretty amazing if it isn't corporate too!

Just got offered $50 for:

unlimited local minutes
unlimited text/picture msg
1gb data
caller id
voicemail
100 international text

I know some people got it for $45 but I still have 2 years left on my contract.

They also offered 50% reduction on my early cancellation and an iPhone 5 for full price, comes to $406 after taxes. I said since this would renew my plan for 3 years.

I would call retentions just to see what they will offer you.

So far I have called three times and they keep offering me the same prepackaged plans for the same price as what my wife is paying now.
If you look in this thread you will find those plans mentioned.
If they offer me something worth taking, I am going to see if I can do it without extending my wife's or my contract.

my contract ends in sept this year.
current have:
200 mins
early evening at 5
unlimited text
call ID + voicemail
my5
500mb data

$50.xx all in.

I'm currently looking for a phone upgrade and new contract in march when s4 coming out. How likely do you guys think I'll be able get new contract at that time (7months remaining) with hardware upgrade fee waived along with better contract. They are pretty stiff with waiving fees. I've been with rogers for 4yrs now.

It's all luck to be honest. I called two different times the same day back in December and I was offered two totally different things. It just depends on the agent you get.

With that being said, it's always better to have a promo plan from another carrier to refer to when you call in.

call retention, a rogers store will give you retail plans only. after you negotiate a plan that you like, you can go to a rogers store to pick up a phone.

Yeah my plan is old. What I did was basically just add 6gig data to my existing plan which was around $20. Then I cut the GRF.... but forgot to bargain for unlimited incoming. Oh well, I've never gone over my minutes before.

Anyways, if they charge you for a $35 activation fee, they'll say that theres no way in hell they can waive it. What you do is ask them to credit you (instead of waiving) the same amount... which they can do.
