It's not supposed to exceed either:
a) Your base voice plan, or;
b) Your the half value of your total plan
Supposedly, anyways. Some people are able to get away with it, some people don't and their accounts are audited.

For example, I have the 20$ 200 min daytime, Unlim eve/weekend base plan. I also have the 5$ early 6PM evenings. Im given a 5$ Credit back cause thats what retentions offered me to stay with the company. These can come from CID credits or just simply deductions form your baseplan. Read up on retentions here: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s...ghlight=Rogers Its possible to get cheaper deals on data but they're arent many options if you wanna browse lightly.
I have a question for all you guys, right now I have
$20 - 200 Mins Unlim weekends/Evenings
$ 5 - Early 6PM evenings
$11 - Communicate Value Pack (125txt, CID, VM)
-$10- Monthly Credit ( Offset the CVP)
-$5 - Monthly Credit (Offset Early Evening)
Total = ~32$ after SAF and taxes
I talked to retentions like 4 times in the past 2 days asking if I could get the 30$ (-10$ credit promotion ) Data pack which includes 500mb of data, 10000txt, 10000mms, CID, and VM for my E71. Most said the 10$ promotion only worked for Blackberrys. I got one CSR who let me use the promo on my E71 and he left it as a memo in my account. So if I remove the Communicate Value Pack from my plan (also removing the 10$ Credit thats tied to it) its still roughly 52$ for my plan. Is this worth it you think? I tried asking them acting dumb just to straight swap my CVP for the new Data pack but they all said the original 10$ credit would have to be removed. Should I pull the trigger on 3 years of locked in data for 52$

Ask them to let you keep the credit, it's doable. I've done it before.

They have n00bies working too. They make mistakes. Hardly justifies them as cunts. If you want the phone for cheap you need a data plan. You can get one with out the data, but it'll be more expensive. That's all, unless that's changed.

However calling in to retentions is always a hit or miss, persistence is key though..

You could cancel your contract, then sign up for a new one then you'd be eligible for a lower price.
But you'd probably be paying a penalty fee for cancelling before the natural date of your contract's expiration, so you're better off just waiting it out.

Hes bsing you. Keep phoning back, determination is key.
I just pulled the trigger on it today. Phoned data and got a crazy set up.
200 Mins |20 $
6PM Early Evenings | 5$
Monthly Plan Credit | - 5$
500MB Smartphone Data pack | 30$
^This has 10k Text, 10k MMS, CID w/ Name display, and Enhanced VM
Monthly Plan Credit | -10$
Monthly Plan Credit | -10$
Total is 30$ + 6.95 + 0.50 X 1.12 Tax = 42$ All In
Sooo happy, I phoned the normal data line as they wouldnt know to take away my 10$ Credit thats supposed to offset my previous communicate value pack.
I must have phoned in like 5 times in the past 3 days trying to get it. Finally won.

Been scouring this forum and others for good retentions deal.
Just a general tip for people who score retention deals from rogers.
It all matters on the following things:
1. How long you've been with rogers and how much revenue you generated them
2. Are you currently not on a contract (i.e month to month or past a contract)
3. How nice the CSR you get.
4. The current deals on voice and hardware available.
5. The first "retentions" deal they offer you - make sure to get them not to document it if you want to think about it and go back because my first offer was documented and they hardly budge from there.
Long story short. I called in on a weekend and got a pretty chilling CSR. Explained that I was with Rogers for about a year and previously I was with them for 4-5 years but moved away and switched cell phone companies. Told them that I wanted a BB Bold
Here's what I got:
BB Bold for $199 - $50 Credit on a 3 year contract
300 daytime minutes
UL evening @6 and weekends
Unlimited Rogers
$30 Blackberry Data Value Package:
500mb BIS
10K MMS
10K Video Message
CID
EVM
Who called
All in for $40 + SAF + 911 Fee = $54 of so monthly
Overall I think its pretty good considering I was paying the same amount of money with 1/2 the minutes, no data and definitely not as much text messages.
Would have been gravy if I got the Bold for $99 and the SAF waived. But I ain't complaining

Just noticed I pretty much got the same as Jayman555 but I have the extra 50mins, network calling and no long distance. Also $8 bucks more for me.
Generally people who has the use and can score the voice plan + $30 bb data plan for under $55 is getting a pretty damned good deal IMO Quote:
