So do you have to be actually paying $70 or more per month or does your plan just need to be advertised as a $70 plan?

Haven't seen many posts here.My contract ends Dec 7, but I'm looking to upgrade my plan and phone.

Current plan:
250 Bus Advantage w/8pm E&W
-6pm Early Evening Calling
-Unlimited Eve & Wknd Minutes
-250 Weekday Minutes
-6pm Early Eve & Wknd Calling
Included with My Plan
Detailed Billing
Call Display
Network Features
2500 Sent/Unltd Rcvd Text Msgs
-500 MB
Enhanced Voicemail

I pay 65 bucks all in.

The new 2 year plan being offered is:
-500 canadian minutes
-unlimited local calling
-3 gig data
-call ID, VM, call waiting, conf call
-unlimited text/picture/video

This plan is $70 bucks (all in)

And then I can get the iphone 5 on a 2 year plan at $249.99 after a $50 rebate.

The upgrade fee of $80 will be only $30 and then $15 processing fee.

So the phone $249.99 + 30 + 15 = 300 bucks approx.

I kind of want to wait for the 5S, but I feel this plan may not be available later.

Sorry added in the data from the current plan I have.
Thoughts?

Unless it was an oversight, I do not see any data in your original plan. Relatively speaking, 5 dollars more a month, you are getting quite a bit more. 250 more mins, unlimited local, and 3gb of data. Unless you don't need any of it or its excess features, then don't switch. Other than that make the jump and grab the phone. Unless you are patient enough to see what other deals this whole new 2 year code brings.

I pay $58.14 after taxes for the Super 6GB plan with CI. $15 credit which ends Dec 2013 and my contract just got renewed in May around. They wouldn't budge on the credits when I tried to talk to them but I needed a new phone.

changed my plan from

$17.50 – 200 mins 6PM E/W
$10 – value pack - CID/VM/1000 sms
$30 – 6 GB data
($10) – data discount

=$47.5 + tax

to

$20 – basic plan = basic voicemail, caller id, unlimited pics/video/sms messages, 1000 incoming local minutes, 250 canadian long distance, 350 weekday mins, unlimited 6PM E/W, unlimited rogers to rogers nationwide
($4) – savings per month (20% off basic plan kept on indefinitely)
$30 – 6 GB data (lost my $10 data credit but I no longer need the 10$ value pack so it works out)

=$46 + tax


Not sure why or when but I was sent to the business department because one of the reps had put a corporate code on my account. But yay I save $1.50+tax a month for a slightly better plan

So I called Rogers today after noticing that a few of my credits are going to expire in the next month or so. Got to a rep and asked him to see if I would be able to renew/reinstate these credits as I signed up for another 3-year term a few months back.

Was paying: $37.22 taxes in
150 minutes
unlimited text messaging
caller display/voicemail
6gb data
(I had 6 different credits amounting to $43.00, 3 of them having an expiration)

I was told that Rogers does not stack credits anymore and the best alternative was to bring me to a modern day plan. However, the modern day equivalent costs $95 and there is no way I will be paying for that. The rep simply told me that I should leave my plan as is since I'd still be better off. We ended the conversation with him telling me to touch base with him some time around Christmas as new plans/promotions will emerging then. He did give me a couple of bonuses but these will only last for 3 months.

The bonuses he gave:
Unlimited incoming calls
250 long distance minutes
but my plan now costs $69 taxes in after all my credits form the original plan expire

I feel hurt... butt hurt..

Curious, when those 3 credits expires, what would your monthly rate be? Unless you exceed 150 mins often, 32 dollars more isn't even worth those 2 upgrades. Or do those 3 credits amount to 30 bucks anyways?

a plan anywhere close to Rien's would be a miracle lol

which reminds me, my contract will end in November, so I will need to start calling in soon.

Right now I'm paying $37 taxes in with all 6 of the credits in place. However when the 3 expires at the end of this month, I'll be paying 69 taxes in which isn't really something I'd be willing to pay for especially with having the same plan

With the new policy kicking in it seems like plans with data are a minimum $55, is there anything cheaper?
